Relatively drier air is pivoting across the Florida Keys this morning, which will limit rain chances closer to normal for today. A small area of low pressure located east of the northernmost Bahamas is sliding west northwest and will reach the Southeast U.S. by this evening. Behind this feature, moisture will return, leading to above normal rain and thunder chances for the upcoming weekend. In addition, winds will be slackening allowing for dispersion indices to fall back down between 40 to 60 over the next couple of weekends.
