Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
452 AM EDT Wed Sep 3 2025

.Discussion...
A stationary front lies just to our north, keeping the Keys in an
usually moist westerly flow. The front is in place to promote a
prolonged and potentially heavy rainfall event that could last
until the end of the week. Rain chances will be well above normal
through the next several days. This moist air mass will help to
keep afternoon minimum relative humidity values near 70 percent
and recovering into the 90 percentile overnight.
