Good morning! Tropical Depression 5 is located about 200 miles west of southwest Florida this morning and is movinga way from the area. While it has a poorly organized look now, as it moves over warm (but shallow) water and through an environment of light wind shear, we do expect TD5 to become Tropical Storm Danielle, perhaps as early as late this afternoon. Either way, our weather is going to begin a slow improvement trend today -- with lower chances of rain and more sunshine inland today. It will be a slow go of it today clearing wise along the coast, though, as clouds will hang tough and scattered rain and storms remain in the forecast. Drier weather for everyone arrives tomorrow and should stick around for the weekend.
I have much more coming up on WINK-TV, first today's forecast:
Naples Mostly Cloudy Scattered Storms; High 87
Bonita Springs Mostly Cloudy Scattered Storms; High 88
Fort Myers Mostly Cloudy Scattered Storms; High 88
Cape Coral Mostly Cloudy Scattered Storms; High 87

Have a good day!
