Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
426 AM EDT Mon Aug 17 2026

.Discussion...
Warmer than normal weather continues while a Saharan Air Layer
lingers over the Florida Keys. Temperatures in the lower 90s
are likely across the island chain while dew points stay in the
upper 70s. Relative humidity values are expected to recover into
the mid 80s during the overnight hours, but min RH values will
be able to drop into the lower 60s. Interiors of the largest
islands may observe dew points into the mid to upper 50s.
Collapsing winds suggest dispersion indices will be very low
throughout the week.
