Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Florida

207 PM EDT Tue Aug 19 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Tomorrow looks to be the driest day for the week and sinking air to
the west of Erin suppresses overall instability and thus storm
development. However, RH values should remain well above critical
thresholds and winds should remain fairly light. Moisture and storm
chances increase late in the week as the flow becomes more WSW,
lasting into the weekend. There are no significant fire weather
concerns at this time.
Fog potential...No significant fog is expected.
