DEPRESSION FORMS OFF THE CUBAN COAST

There are some bands of strong storms moving through the Florida straits and could affect the lower keys over night. I am not seeing as many thunderstorms as there were earlier today, but that is probably due to the interaction with land. 

I am reporting from Naples Beach, Florida. I will be off and on via phone and on my laptop at night.
