Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
359 AM EDT Mon Sep 29 2025

.Discussion...
Moderate to fresh northwesterly breezes will continue across the
Florida Keys through Tuesday, as Tropical Storm Imelda spins to
the east of the Florida Peninsula and the wind field expands.
This will support several forecast periods of elevated dispersion
indices. Breezes will slacken thereafter, as Imelda slides
eastward into the west- central North Atlantic. Rain and thunder
chances will remain low through Tuesday, then slowly creep back up
to near normal levels by mid- week. Despite the mainly dry
conditions, minimum relative humidity values will remain well
above 60%.
