...STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING WATERS ADJACENT TO MIDDLE AND 

UPPER KEYS...





At 100 pm, a line of scattered showers associated with a cold 

frontal passage was located across the Straits of Florida south of

the Lower Keys, oriented northeastward into the Bayside waters. This

line of showers was moving to the east to southeast at near 25 

knots. Mariners can expect heavy downpours reducing visibility, 

suddenly shifting winds to the northwest, 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.
