.Discussion...
A weak wave will move west away from the Florida Keys this
afternoon. The elevated amount of moisture, responsible for
yesterday`s shower and thunderstorms, will move west of the Keys.
Shower chances and humidity values will begin to decrease tonight
with the lowest humidity values, in the lower 60s, expected in
the interior of the largest islands. East to southeast winds will
start to slacken tomorrow, reducing dispersion indices across
the island chain. Expect slackening winds to continue into the
start of the work week.
