Good morning! For the next couple of days, the typical rainy season pattern continues its resumption with morning sunshine giving way to afternoon showers and storms. Highs through Wednesday will run in the lower 90's. The wind will be pretty light each day, allowing the Gulf breeze to develop. This is important because it will limit the potential for excessively high temperatures this week (unlike last when we had the strong east wind for a lot of the week!). Today will be the wettest day of the next 3, with drier air pushing in from the Atlantic for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Looking toward the end of the week, the wind at the steering levels will become northwest; this will allow for showers and storms to move toward inland areas each day.
This should be a pretty quiet week in the tropics as it relates to southwest Florida. Dry air covers a lot of the Atlantic again and all of our models have pointed toward no real areas to watch until we get toward the weekend when a tropical wave should be moving toward the northeast Caribbean. The models have been consistent on this for the past several days, so it will be something worth watching.
