Spotty storms for Easter

Your Easter Sunday will start off nicely with a mix of sun & clouds, mild temps, along with a muggy feel.

By the afternoon, highs will soar to near 90, and that will be enough to help spark some storms across SW Florida.

Looking ahead to the week, Monday will once again feature a chance of storms, but a weak cold front will move across the area on Tuesday. The front won’t bring much of a cool down, but the lower humidity will eliminate rain chances during the middle of the week. By next weekend, a surge of deep tropical moisture will bring rain chances back into the forecast.
