Brian: Heavy rain, frequent lightning east of 31 in Charlotte County/Palmdale in Glades County...

A few isolated storms are still hanging on across the area at this hour, with the heaviest activity concentrated across eastern Charlotte County and western Glades County. This storm has a history of frequent lightning and very heavy rain; it is moving slowly northward and should begin to wind down as we head toward sunset. Elsewhere, generally only light areas of rain remain and should also clear out shortly after sunset.
 
Mostly clear by morning and hazy with morning lows in the mid to upper 70's. It shouldn't be quite as hot tomorrow with a better chance of more widespread storms in the forecast. By the weekend, a trough of low pressure will try to move into Florida and the eastern Gulf and this should lead to better chances of rain in the afternoon Saturday and, on Sunday, the chance of rain earlier in the day.
 
I'll have the latest on your forecast coming up on WINK in less than 5 minutes!
