An area of low pressure near the Big Bend of Florida will keep
rain and thunder chances elevated for the next twenty-four hours
or so across the Florida Keys. East to southeast transport winds
will increase today through the end of the work week. Combined
with a well- mixed boundary layer, dispersion indices will remain
elevated. Minimum relative humidity values are expected to remain
well above 60%, leading to limited fire risk through Friday.
