FORT MYERS, Fla. — Another hot day is coming Thursday to Southwest Florida, though the high temperature is unlikely to come as close to a record as it did Wednesday.

Thursday morning will feature a mix of sun and clouds with warm and muggy conditions. A slight chance of rain along the coast exists from 10 a.m. to noon, but it’ll otherwise be mostly dry.
A few spotty storms will develop for the afternoon and evening, when it’ll be hot and humid with a continued mix of sun and clouds. Heat indices will climb between 100 and 105, with isolated spots seeing heat indices as high as 110.
