SLOW MOVING FRONT HAS SOUTH FLORIDA UNDER DEEP MOISTURE SOUTHWEST FLOW

Slow moving frontal boundary has us stuck under deep moisture flow from Gulf. As the front clears the area tonight dry air in the brown color of the satellite radar still image will settle in. Tomorrow should be better and the weekend looks fairly nice through memorial day. There will always be those slight chances for an afternoon spring/summer type shower or thunderstorms as the seas breeze collides with the warm air from the west. So you can't rule it out...RTW
