366 FNUS52 KKEY 210828 FWFKEY Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys National Weather Service Key West FL 428 AM EDT Thu Aug 21 2025 .Discussion... Hurricane Erin will continue moving to the north to northeast through tonight before turning to the northeast and accelerating farther out into the North Atlantic. This will result in another day or two of light to gentle southwest to west breezes. Moisture remains plentiful but we lack a trigger mechanism to ignite more widespread showers and thunderstorms. Therefore, 30% was maintained for today with 20% through the weekend. Min RH values are expected to be in the lower 60s percent today and near 60 percent on Friday with good RH recover to the upper 80s percent tonight.
