Happy Friday, Southwest Florida! Rain today is going to come in a little earlier than yesterday for our coastal areas. Due to a dominant westerly wind, rain and storms will come in earlier near the coast before generally moving inland. By lunchtime and early afternoon, scattered storms will be hugging the I-75 corridor and eastward. Eventually, the heaviest rain approaches Lake Okeechobee. Late evening and overnight, we could see a few showers making their way back to our most populated communities. That’ll be the exception, not the rule. Your weekend forecast will do a 180°! Scattered rain and storms will primarily move in during the afternoon and evening hours.
