Good morning! Memorial Day is starting mostly clear throughout southwest Florida, although there are a few showers south of Marco Island and Everglades City this morning in Florida Bay. There is the slightest chance that one or two of these could make their way onshore toward the 10,000 Islands area near sunrise, but I think we'll just end up with a few clouds there this morning. Otherwise, for this afternoon the steering currents remain very light and essentially parallel to the coast; this means the best chance of rain will lie along the afternoon Gulf breeze mainly along and just east of I-75. I do think a few storms could drift closer to the beaches though by 5 PM, so it may not be quite as sunny and dry at the coast today as it was over the weekend.
The chance of rain will increase tomorrow inland and south as tropical moisture from the remnants of eastern Pacific storm Agatha make their way into the eastern Gulf. More on this later. First, today's forecast:
Naples Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 90
Bonita Springs Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 91
Fort Myers Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 92

Have a great Memorial Day!
