Fire Weather Planning Forecast for the Florida Keys

.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.
