.Discussion...
Warmer than normal weather continues while rain chances slowly
increase in the coming days. Temperatures in the lower 90s are
likely across the island chain while dew points stay in the mid to
upper 70s. Relative humidity values are expected to recover into
the mid 80s during the overnight hours, but min RH values will be
able to drop into the lower 60s during the afternoon hours. In
addition, collapsing winds with a light and variable flow pattern
suggests that dispersion indices will be very low through the
remainder of the week.
