A line of storms has developed along the afternoon Gulf breeze front and is headed toward the northeast right now. Most of these storms are lined up along I-75 from Collier County north into Charlotte County. Expect them to move slowly over the next hour or two with the potential for some very heavy rain and frequent lightning. Doppler radar is estimating anywhere from 1-3" of rain has fallen in some of the heavier storms.
Elsewhere, there are a few isolated storms farther east across inland southwest Florida. These, too, should move to the northeast over the next couple of hours. The most concentrated activity will be along the coast, though, between now and around 6 pm.
