...DISPERSION INDICES GREATER THAN 75 ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
FLORIDA KEYS THIS AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...

.Discussion...
Ample moisture will continue to push across the region through the
forecast period. This will maintain 30 to 40 percent rain chances
with slight thunder chances through at least Thursday. Given the
spotty nature of this expected activity, rain amounts will be
highly variable between island communities. Breezy conditions
expected at times through at least Wednesday. This will result in
dispersion indices above 75 during the afternoons today and
Wednesday. Minimum RH values are expected to be in the lower to
mid 60s today and Wednesday with overnight recoveries reaching
into 80 percentile.
