.DISCUSSION...WIDESPREAD RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT SOUTH FLORIDA THROUGH AT LEAST THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS.
THIS WILL OCCUR ALONG WITH ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER...DUE TO THE
PRESENCE OF AN UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA. ALTHOUGH THE
POTENTIAL WILL DEFINITELY EXIST FOR ADDITIONAL LIGHTNING STRIKES
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...OTHER PARAMETERS SUGGEST A LOW
POTENTIAL FOR RAPID FIRE GROWTH...AS MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH MAY NOT
EVEN FALL BELOW 55-60 PERCENT. SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN FROM THE
NORTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 MPH.
