.Discussion...
A late season cold front is steadily moving towards the Florida
Keys this morning. Ahead of the front is a decaying line of
showers and thunderstorms that may pass through portions of the
Keys this morning. Otherwise, expecting another line to develop
along the front and move in during the late morning and early
afternoon hours. In the wake of the frontal passage, expect strong
northwest breezes to develop and continue through the overnight.
Breezy conditions will persist into at least Friday morning with
much drier air filtering in. As a result, min RH values Friday
afternoon will fall to near 40 percent.
