...STRONG COLD FRONT RAPIDLY PUSHING THROUGH THE WESTERN FLORIDA 

KEYS WATERS...



At 1000 am, a line of scattered showers associated with a cold 

frontal passage was located across the western Straits of Florida,

oriented northeastward into the southeastern Gulf. This line of

showers was moving to the east to southeast at 20 to 25 knots. Mariners

can expect heavy downpours reducing visibility, suddenly shifting

winds to the northwest, wind gusts near 30 knots, and confused seas.

Once the showers pass through, sustained winds will freshen and turn

to the northwest 20 to 25 knots.
