Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys

National Weather Service Key West FL

356 AM EDT Wed May 6 2026



...DISPERSION INDICES LESS THAN 20 ARE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE

FLORIDA KEYS TODAY AND THURSDAY...



.Discussion...

Light to gentle east to southeast breezes will become variable at

times today and Thursday. The lack of flow and associated 

transport winds will support low dispersion indices. Despite the 

poor dispersion, minimum relative humidity values will remain 

above 60%. Similar conditions will continue for the next several 

days, including near-nil rain and thunder chances. Temperatures 

will steadily warm through the weekend, with highs approaching the

upper 80s, and lows struggling to fall below 80 in the overnight 

periods.
