Hurricane Ian 18 months later: Restaurants rebuilt or retiredSt. Matthew’s House makes great progress in new women and children homeless shelter
Happy Friday, Southwest Florida! Expect a few more showers and storms today with an uptick in humidity levels. Temperatures will still peak in the low-mid 90s inland and the upper 80s near the coast due to an onshore wind. That Gulf sea breeze is going to push most of our rainfall east of I-75 throughout the afternoon and evening. The best opportunity for moderate-to-heavy rainfall will exist just before sunset. Overall, it’s still a great day for outdoor activities! Saturday will feature only a few storms, mainly inland. Rain chances ramp up as we approach Memorial Day as a front stalls to our north. With this bump in tropical moisture, we’ll finally see relief to our local drought and drier-than-normal conditions! Rainfall totals could peak between 1.5 – 2.0″ over the next week with locally higher amounts.
