Gulf of America from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal
out to 5 fathoms...
Hawk Channel from west end of Seven Mile Bridge to Halfmoon Shoal out

At 1128 AM EDT, a National Weather Service staff member reported an 
observed waterspout about 1 mile to the south of Boca Chica. 

Locations that will be affected include...
Key West, Boca Chica, Big Coppitt, and Sugarloaf Key.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Prepare for thunderstorms with wind gusts near 30 knots, locally
rough and confused seas, occasional lightning strikes, and
potentially blinding downpours. Get to a safe port as quickly, and as
safely as possible. When downpours reduce visibility, slow down.

Environmental conditions favor waterspout formation. A waterspout
would most likely appear beneath a dark, flat bottom of a building
cumulus line, just at the hint of rain. If you see a waterspout, stay
away, and call in the report to your Florida Keys National Weather
Service, at 3 0 5 2 9 5 1 3 1 6 extension 3.
