...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible across south Florida and the
Keys today.
Limited low-level moisture and generally stable conditions will
preclude thunderstorms over most of the CONUS today and tonight.
The one exception will be over portions of south FL, beneath the
subtropical jet and in a region of mid 60s dewpoints. The risk
along the southeast coast will be this morning through early
afternoon, with another period of thunderstorm potential along the
southwest coast tonight. No severe storms are anticipated.
