.Discussion...
A weak disturbance progressing across the Florida Keys will bring
a low-level moisture surge, supporting elevated rain and thunder
chances for Friday afternoon through early Saturday evening. The
increased moisture will also keep afternoon minimum relative
humidity values above 60 percent through Saturday. East to
southeast winds will also increase, peaking at 15 to 20 mph Friday
night and Saturday night. The elevated transport winds will
support efficient boundary layer dispersion for the next several
days.
