THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS AND ADJACENT 
COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

...MODERATE RISK OF WATERSPOUTS THIS AFTERNOON...

CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR A CUMULUS CLOUD LINE TO DEVELOP JUST 
NORTH OF THE LOWER KEYS THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT WINDS SHOULD ALLOW THE 
CUMULUS CLOUD LINE TO MATURE ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY PRODUCE 
WATERSPOUTS. THE MOST FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR WATERSPOUT FORMATION 
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE OVER THE GULF WATERS JUST NORTH OF SUGARLOAF 
KEY TO KEY WEST. WATERSPOUTS ARE MOST LIKELY TO FORM UNDER A LARGE 
CLOUD BUILDUP WITH A DARK FLAT BASE. IF A WATERSPOUT IS 
SIGHTED...MOVE AWAY FROM IT AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. 
REPORT WATERSPOUT SIGHTINGS DIRECTLY TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 
BY CALLING 3 0 5...2 9 5...1 3 1 6...EXTENSION 3. 

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME TONIGHT. 

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY 

ANOTHER CUMULUS CLOUD LINE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE LOWER 
KEYS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LIGHT WINDS SHOULD ALLOW THE CUMULUS CLOUD 
LINE TO MATURE ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY PRODUCE WATERSPOUTS.

OTHERWISE...NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME TUESDAY 
THROUGH SUNDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
