A SURFACE ATLANTIC RIDGE STRETCHING ACROSS FLORIDA IS MAINTAINING
GENTLE EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY BREEZES ALONG THE KEYS THIS EVENING.
SKIES HAVE BEEN A BIT HAZY THIS EVENING WITH A LARGE SWATH OF DUST
RIDING INTO OUR AREA AROUND THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE LOWER LEVELS IS IN THE PROCESS OF
CONSIDERABLE DRYING AND SATELLITE IMAGERY AGREES. LOCAL RADARS
INDICATE ALL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS NOW LOCATED ALONG OLD
SEABREEZE BOUNDARIES WORKING THEIR WAY THROUGH OUR DEEP GULF
WATERS. SURFACE CONDITIONS ARE NEAR DISGUSTING WITH TEMPERATURES
STILL IN THE MID 80S AND DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 70S.
ATLANTIC RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. AS A RESULT, SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN GENTLE OUT OF THE
EAST TO SOUTHEAST. THIS FLOW WILL MAINTAIN SEASONABLY WARM
CONDITIONS WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 80S AND DEW POINTS HOPEFULLY
SLIPPING A DEGREE OR TWO. THE DOMINANT RIDGING AND DRYING TAKING
PLACE THROUGH THE LOWER LEVELS SHOULD HELP TO MINIMIZE CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL. WILL MAINTAIN DIME POPS FOR THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.
