.Discussion...
Another above normal PoP day in on tap for the Keys today.
Once developed, a period of scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms will drift near and over the island chain. While
this will be followed by a lull in activity as the atmosphere
recharges, enhanced PoPs continue into tonight when another round
could be possible. Outside of convection, winds will
continue to be light and generally out of the east. Minimum RH
values will bottom out at near 60 percent before returning to the
mid to upper 80s overnight.
