   * Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 805 PM
     until 300 AM EDT.

   supercells, will initially approach the Florida Keys, and eventually
   the far southern Florida Peninsula later this evening. Within a
   favorably moist environment amid strong deep-layer winds, these
   storms will pose a waterspout/tornado risk aside from wind damage.

   north and south of a line from 70 miles west of Key West FL to 70
   miles east southeast of Miami FL. For a complete depiction of the
   watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.
