Brian: Light showers around this morning... temps in the low 60's

We've got a few light showers moving out of the Gulf of Mexico this morning, mainly south of the Caloosahatchee. The best chance of rain this morning will mainly be from Fort Myers and Moore Haven southward into Collier and Hendry Counties, but none of this rain should be heavy. The heavy stuff this morning is reserved for the Florida Straits and the far southern part of the peninsula.. and this rain will not come back to the north! Later this afternoon, a weakening cold front will move into the eastern Gulf and that should be enough to give some rain chances to areas north of the Caloosahatchee. Like we talked about over the weekend though, the models just seemed to be out to lunch on this one with the possibility of excessive rain across SWFL and that appears to be working out this morning.
 
Bottom line: rain is likely today, but nothing too heavy.. and it won't rain all day. We should see around .25" of rain most spots. Even with the clouds and shower chances, temps will be warm today.. climbing into the 70's. Have a great day!
