...Strong thunderstorms will impact portions of southwestern Collier

At 204 PM EDT, National Weather Service meteorologists were tracking
another feeder band capable of producing funnel clouds along a line
extending from Plantation Island to 9 miles northwest of Everglades
National Park. Movement was northwest at 35 mph.

HAZARD...Funnel clouds and wind gusts of 45 to 50 mph.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Gusty winds
         could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured
         objects.

Locations impacted include...
Chokoloskee, Everglades City, Plantation Island, Loop Road Ee Center,
Carnestown, Marco Island Airport, Copeland, Wilderness Waterway,
Royal Palm Hammock, Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades

and Jerome.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

These winds can down small tree limbs and branches, and blow around
