Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
427 AM EDT Thu Aug 28 2025

.Discussion...
Slightly above to above normal rain chances are expected for the
next week as a stalled frontal boundary remains across central to
northern Florida and moisture pools in the vicinity of this front.
A ridge over the Atlantic combined with an early season high
pressure system across the eastern United States will lead to
continued east to southeast light to gentle breezes. Min RH values
are expected to be in the mid 60s percent today and in the upper
60s percent on Thursday with good RH recovery to the mid 80s
percent overnight.
