And it seems fitting as today the Rainy Season comes to a close!Once the above-mentioned front clears South Florida this evening, milder air will begin to move into our area.  The air mass will be much drier as well so humidity levels will be lower than what we have seen in quite some time. Temperatures tonight will also be comfortable in the 60s for mainland areas of South Florida.  Behind the front, skies will gradually clear late tonight and a Northwest breeze will pick up at ti...
