Mostly sunny Tuesday afternoon with lower humidity

Reporter: Juliana Mejia
Published: Updated:

Another quiet day for Southwest Florida with highs in the upper 80s and lower humidity keeping things comfortable. Skies will be mostly clear to start the day. High-level cloud cover will increase slightly by the afternoon and persist into the evening.

Because of the dry conditions and much of our area still experiencing severe drought, the risk of fire danger is high Tuesday and until rain returns this upcoming weekend. Please remember not to drag chains behind vehicles, safely dispose of cigarettes and make sure to drown any outdoor fires in water.

Red tide concentrations remain low or non-existent along our coastline. Low concentrations are currently only found in the Pine Island Sound area, Captiva Pass and near Venice.

BOATERS: Tuesday is a gorgeous day to be on the water, with 1- to 2-foot wave heights and a light chop in the bays.
