the meter and. we can follow the line easily here. the line is very potent offshore, extending down to the county area and through the keys. maybe some of you disappointed that maybe it wasn't stronger. we had the conditions place for some very wild weather to take shape. but has this line has come through, we have not materialized any tornado warnings but we have materialized wind gusts and miami dade. the threat has diminished, though our watch continues for another 25 minutes or so till the top of the hour here. key miss in cane stillhod

again, in realtime radar here. across the het of broward county, heading up toward coke co nut creek. you see the nasty line of storms well offshore. we'll see skies begin to clear out. as for the keys, we did have a severe thunderstorm warning about two hours ago down into the lower keys. but ever sincehe line diminishing in its intensity, it continues to move away from the upper keys. one more time, here's the big picture. the cloud and radar all together now. the line most intention here and diminishes as it goes to southeast florida. give us some time. ugly morning. and a matter of hours, clearing out. would have been nice afternoon for you.

everything offshore. the weather will guide you to a very decent afternoon. for many of you, it's a three-day weekend with martin luther king. >> technically in effect until 9:00 a.m. the threat was for this line, which is already, tending now if but we did not reerlize any warnings here in the south florida area or into miami dade. . but we have not received any reports of damage at this hour. we'll watch the rain and the wake of this line move out of broward county. breezy conditions will settle back in. taking to you broward county where the last of the showers

toward i-95 and the deerfield beach, maybe up towards hillsborough where we've got at least the light to rad po up and down so we are going to see improving conditions. >> now, the sun is not going to come out immediately. it was just this line, a quick-hitter in and out. now we've got our light shower shield. still a tough go for anybody who has any marine interests or beach plans. scratch that for today.

effect for the atlantic water, winds between 24 to 50 miles per hour. temperatures will retained into the upper 70 pujols's. behind it high pressure will settle in and winds will slowly begin to shift out of the northwest. that's what's going to allow us to cool down. the next knew days temperatures will be in the upper 70s. cool temperatures throughout the afternoon hours. >> in just the past few minutes

julia bagg, an ef 2 is what killed so the brunt of it has already passed. it's seeming like the brunt of that really hit western florida and central florida much harder than it did thong here in south there p this is right back in or back yard. up see the heavy rain coming off from that balcony. we know from the person who took

boats being tossed about on the water and the this is from the system moving offshore now. so the worst going past us.
