.Discussion...
Warmer than normal weather continues while rain chances slowly
increase in the coming days. Temperatures in the lower 90s are
likely across the island chain while dew points stay in the mid
to upper 70s. Relative humidity values are expected to recover
into the upper 70s to mid 80s during the overnight hours with min
RH values in the lower 60s during the afternoon hours. In
addition, a weak, southeasterly flow pattern with winds becoming
light and variable at times during the afternoon suggests that
dispersion indices will be poor through the weekend.
