Good morning! Just a fast update here on a Monday morning... hot and mainly dry weather will continue today across southwest Florida as we remain on the western side of a developing area of low pressure out in the Atlantic. It might not be quite as dry today as a few thunderstorms may have a chance to drift in from the north; the best chance of rain today should be along the coast and north of the Caloosahatchee. Otherwise it's a bit breezy this afternoon and hot with highs pushing into the lower 90's for most communities.
Tomorrow through Thursday, Atlantic low pressure (possibly our first named storm of the season -- subtropical Alex?) will drift closer to the coast and increase our rain chances slightly. We still should be well west of the center of this low, meaning drier air should persist.. especially along the coast. I'll have much more on the potential for the first named storm of the season a little later this morning.
Here is today's forecast:
Naples Partly Cloudy Hot; High 92
Bonita Springs Partly Cloudy Hot; High 92
Fort Myers Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 92
Cape Coral Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 90
Port Charlotte Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 90
Hendry Co. Partly Cloudy Hot; High 91
Glades Co. Partly Cloudy Hot; High 91
DeSoto Co. Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 90
See you on WINK!
