It's a dry start to your Monday morning (for now), but don't get caught without your umbrella later today! We're in a very unsettled pattern right now with tropical moisture moving in from the south and a series of upper level disturbances moving across the Gulf. All of this should combine for another round of widespread showers and storms, beginning first this morning along the coast and then pushing mainly inland for the afternoon. There will be lots of clouds around and that should hold temperatures back into the 80's for all areas. Also, I'm watching a pocket of some drier air about 3 miles or so above the ground. This is important because as precipitation falls through it and evaporates, the air becomes heavier than the surrounding air and has a tendency to sink quickly.. leading to the possibility of some gusty wind in any thunderstorms today.
Here are today's numbers:
Naples Mostly Cloudy Storms Likely; High 85

Fort Myers Mostly Cloudy Storms Likely; High 86
