Today was the warmest day we've felt in nearly two weeks with mercury readings hitting the 80 degree mark this afternoon across some parts of SWFL!

And in Ft. Myers, the high temperature hit 78 degrees today, making for 2 days in a row with highs above 70 degrees...that may not seem impressive considering our average high is 77 degrees, but we have not had two 70+ degree days in a row since February 5th and 6th!

After a warm day, expect a mild overnight with lows in the low 60's along the coast to upper 50's inland. So if you're out and about tonight, you can leave behind the coat but you may need the rain jacket as scattered sprinkles and a few light showers will move across the area early tonight as a disturbance in the upper atmosphere moves west from the Gulf. The precipitation will pick up in intensity into tomorrow morning as surface moisture levels continue to increase.

The upper air disturbance will keep light to moderate rain in the forecast through tomorrow morning...then for the afternoon a surface feature, a cold front, will jump in the mix providing scattered rain for tomorrow afternoon as well. Heavy rain with a few storms will be possible during this afternoon time frame. A south wind in advance of the cold front will help keep high temperatures on the warm side with highs in the mid to upper 70's tomorrow afternoon.

Though that cold front will pass through SWFL tomorrow night, a big push of cold air will not be felt in it's wake. Another warm day in store for Tuesday with highs in the upper 70's!
