Hot & Humid, Scattered PM Storms

The National Hurricane Center has issued its last advisory on what was Tropical Depression Bret, which has now dissipated into a remnant low pressure area. Tropical Storm Cindy continues to pack winds of 50 mph, as it races across the Northern Atlantic. As it encounters some very cool waters, we are expecting this system to dissipate as early as tonight and into the first half of the weekend. There is another area of disturbed weather approaching the Lesser Antilles, and the NHC is giving this about a 20% chance for tropical development over the next 48 hours.

Our typical weather pattern returns to Southwest Florida today, with mainly afternoon and evening scattered storms, especially across some of our inland communties. Over the weekend, we will start to see some slightly drier conditions with fewer storms in the forecast as high pressure continues to nose its way in across the state.
