Wednesday brings more heat and scattered storms

Published: Updated:

High temperatures across Southwest Florida will be back in the 90s. A mostly sunny morning will make way for a partly cloudy afternoon.

Additionally, high levels of humidity will make our inland “feels like” temperatures soar into the triple digits. Scattered storms will mitigate some of Wednesday afternoon and evening’s heat.

Isolated thunderstorms will begin forming after lunchtime. These storms will become stronger and more organized in the evening, before fizzling late Wednesday night. A few may be capable of isolated flooding, gusty winds and lightning. Severe weather is not expected.

Our levels of Saharan dust will be slightly lower than what we experienced on Tuesday, with better air quality returning to Wednesday’s forecast as a result.

The tropics continue to be quiet. There are no named storms forecast to form over the next five days in the Mid-Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean. Climatically speaking, The Weather Authority fully expects tropical activity to pick back by the end of this month.
