Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
426 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.Discussion...
Relatively drier air is pivoting across the Florida Keys this
morning, which will limit rain chances closer to normal for today.
A small area of low pressure located east of the northernmost
Bahamas is sliding west northwest and will reach the Southeast
U.S. by this evening. Behind this feature, moisture will return,
leading to above normal rain and thunder chances for the upcoming
weekend. In addition, winds will be slackening allowing for
dispersion indices to fall back down between 40 to 60 over the
next couple of weekends.
