Good morning! The deep tropical moisture that's been flirting with southwest Florida the past several days has moved to the east out toward the Bahamas (more on this in a later blog post -- let's just say this area is worth watching next week!) and we'll start the day with plenty of sun once some low clouds and fog burn off. For the afternoon, there's still enough moisture around for some isolated storms and, with steering currents changing to northerly and northeasterly, these storms will push back toward the Gulf by late in the day. It'll be warm today with highs in the upper 80's and low 90's.
For tomorrow, drier air moves in and it should be a mainly dry afternoon. In fact, as an area of low pressure develops off the east coast, we should see dry air funnel into southwest Florida for the weekend -- leaving us with a partly cloudy to mostly sunny sky each day. The breeze picks up next week and by mid-week so will the chance of rain. Next week's forecast is pretty tricky depending on this area of low pressure I'm watching; I'll have more on this later!
