Good morning! With a strong area of high pressure sitting overhead, it will be a hot and humid afternoon with temperatures climbing into the mid 90's. When you factor in the high dewpoints, it will feel like 102 - 108 degrees later today. Yesterday, we ended up with a few more storms than expected (and I even went with a forecast wetter than the models suggested yesterday!). There is still a lot of moisture in the atmosphere and despite the tendency for the air to sink underneath an area of high pressure, I'm going with high-end isolated rain chances this afternoon. I think the best chance of rain will be along and south of the Caloosahatchee later this afternoon.
Tomorrow, as a front moves into the southeast, the chance of rain will likely be at its lowest for the week. Expect a higher chance of rain on Friday, but mainly inland as the steering currents become north-northwest.
Here is today's outlook:
Naples Partly Cloudy Isolated PM Storms; High 94
Bonita Springs Partly Cloudy Isolated PM Storms; High 96
Fort Myers Partly Cloudy Isolated PM Storms; High 96
Cape Coral Partly Cloudy Isolated PM Storms; High 95
Port Charlotte Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 95
Hendry Co. Partly Cloudy Isolated PM Storms; High 96
Glades Co. Partly Cloudy Isolated PM Storms; High 94
DeSoto Co. Partly Cloudy Mainly Dry; High 95
Have a good Wednesday!
