Good morning! A few thunderstorms this morning are out there to start the day, especially south and west of Collier County. These storms are moving very slowly toward the northwest and I think this is a sign of things to come later today -- our storms should be slow movers today. In fact, as the high pressure ridge over southwest Florida weakens, our storms and showers will move slowly each afternoon this weekend. Highs will average in the lower 90's.
For early next week, a complex pattern evolves along the east coast, as the remains of what is now Tropical Storm Colin, a surface cold front, and an upper level trough all come together to produce an upper level area of low pressure. These low will moves westward over the area Monday through Wednesday, giving us a chance of rain both earlier and later in the day.
Today's forecast:
Naples Partly Cloudy Scattered PM Storms; High 92
Bonita Springs Partly Cloudy Scattered PM Storms; High 93
Fort Myers Partly Cloudy Scattered PM Storms; High 93

Enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend!
