Another round of storms today and through most of this week

This afternoon storms began to pop across Southwest Florida and they’ll continue into this evening. The storms will be mostly inland through the dinner hour, however, they will begin to drift closer to the coast around eight or nine tonight due to the east wind. The storms will move off shore and fizzle around eleven tonight.

It will be a dry start to our Monday, however, that’ll be short lived as another round of scattered storms will develop in the late afternoon and into the evening. Scattered storms will actually remain in the forecast through most of this week up until the passage of a cold front.

The cold front will sweep passed our area late Thursday so we’ll have dry air filter in behind it for the end of the week and into the weekend. The dry air flow will keep us mostly dry Friday and into next week.

The National Hurricane center has now issued, a low-end, 10% chance of tropical development for this large area of strong storms northeast of the Bahamas. Development is currently not expected as it continues to move to the north/northeast around 5-10 miles per hour.
