Good morning! We start Tuesday with some haze and fog across southwest Florida, a result of the combination of a calm wind and ample moisture. The hazy and foggy spots should abate within an hour or two of sunrise, giving way to a partly cloudy sky. Again, though, with unstable air in place and plenty of moisture, showers and storms will quickly develop during the second half of the morning. With the upper level steering currents out of the west, most of the showers and storms will push inland by the afternoon leaving the coast with a mainly dry finish. Highs today will be in the upper 80's to near 90.
For tomorrow, an upper level disturbance over Texas will move overhead and give us one last chance of some fairly widespread storms.. most of these will be inland. By Thursday, the steering currents change to northeasterly -- this means any storms that linger for Thursday afternoon will move back to the Gulf instead of inland with time. By Friday and Saturday, drier air moves in and that should end the chances of rain for a few days. Much more on your forecast coming up on WINK in minutes; see you there!
