Chances for rain and storms will hold off until the late afternoon and evening nearly exclusively for our inland areas on Thursday afternoon. There is a low-end (1/5) threat for these storms to become severe, potentially producing hail, damaging winds and frequent lightning. Areas near the coast and I-75 will stay mostly dry and see a mix of sun and clouds throughout the afternoon. All of Southwest Florida will experience a hot and humid afternoon with highs in the 90s for most. Because of the humidity, heat indices will be in the mid-to-upper 90s during the peak heat of the day between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. BOATERS: Expect 2- to 3-foot wave heights with a light-to-moderate chop in the bays.
