ANOTHER NIGHT OF GARDEN VARIETY SHOWERS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
OF THE FLORIDA KEYS. TEMPERATURES ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN ARE IN
THE LOWER 80S WITH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 70S MAKING FOR SIMILAR
CONDITIONS TO 24 HOURS AGO AS WELL. NIGHTTIME MICROPHYSICS
REVEALS MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. REEF OBSERVATION LOCATIONS SHOW THAT
WINDS HAVE SLIGHTLY FRESHENED IN THE LATE EVENING HOURS NOW
RECORDING NEAR 15 KNOTS. OVERNIGHT, MORE MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE INTO THE AREA ALLOWING FOR A POSSIBILITY FOR MORE SHOWER
DEVELOPMENT. AT THIS TIME MODELS ARE SUGGESTING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS WILL BE THE BEST TIME FOR DEVELOPMENT OVER THE ISLAND CHAIN
THOUGH WE ARE NOT EXPECTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL LIKE WE SAW
THE OTHER DAY. STAY TUNED.

INTERACTS WITH A GYRE OVER CENTRAL AMERICA, RAIN AND THUNDER
CHANCES WILL PEAK WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. LATER IN THE WEEK, A
SURFACE HIGH WILL MOVE FROM THE NEW JERSEY COASTLINE INTO THE
