Brian: Widespread showers and storms in the Gulf, isolated rain over land right now...

It's been an active morning on radar so far -- but just about all of the storms have been located offshore in the Gulf of Mexico! A few showers are now starting to skirt the north Lee and Charlotte County coastline and a few more isolated showers are approaching Arcadia this morning. Expect these showers and storms to become much more widespread with time this afternoon as a trough of low pressure continues to focus deep moisture across southwest Florida.
 
The newest forecast models continue to point toward (finally) the arrival of drier air starting tomorrow. Showers and storms will still be fairly widespread tomorrow but much less widespread starting on Wednesday. As a result of the drier air, expect much warmer/more seasonable temperatures as afternoon highs climb toward the mid 90's.
 
Much more coming on 6 TV in just minutes!
