Brian: Wet start to the week in coastal Lee & Collier Counties...

Showers and storms are greeting us this morning along the coasts of Lee and Collier Counties as moisture counties to rotate around a developing area of low pressure across the Florida peninsula. These showers and storms are moving from north to south; this should keep the best chances of rain this morning mainly along and south of the Caloosahatchee.
 
After yesterday's heavy rain, flood watches are posted for Collier and most of inland southwest Florida. This is where the deepest moisture should be later today. Expect widespread showers and storms (but a bit more sun today before those storms arrive later in the day). A wetter/cloudier day in store tomorrow as low pressure moves westward toward the Gulf.
 
We could even see some gradual development of a system of a tropical nature in the eastern Gulf starting tomorrow. I'll have the details starting at 5 AM on WINK!
