Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
456 AM EDT Wed Jun 19 2024

...DISPERSION INDEX VALUES NEAR 75 ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
FLORIDA KEYS THIS AFTERNOON...

.Discussion...
Ample moisture will continue to push across the region through
the forecast period. This will maintain 40 to 50 percent rain chances
with a chance of isolated to scattered thunderstorms through at
least Thursday. Given the spotty nature of this expected activity,
rain amounts will be highly variable between island communities.
Breezy conditions expected through this evening. This will result
in dispersion indices above 75 during this afternoon. Minimum RH
values are expected to be in the lower to mid 60s today and
Wednesday with overnight recoveries reaching into the 80
percentile.
