The Weather Authority is tracking yet another hot day as Friday temperatures are expected to hit the mid to upper 90s.

Weather Authority Meteorologist Lauren Kriedler said about the afternoon, “We’ve already reached temperatures in the 90s in Collier County, and temperatures are expected to rise into the mid to upper 90s this Friday. Fort Myers is on track to hit record high temperatures this Friday.”

Scattered rain and storms will develop in the afternoon and evening.

Hot temperatures continue before the storms develop, with highs in the mid to upper 90s.

Similar to Thursday, our Southwest Florida sea breeze will develop closer to the coast, which means a few strong storms will be possible along the coast today. 

Starting pleasant for your Saturday morning plans with temperatures in the lower to mid-70s.

A weak cold front arrives early on Saturday, so expect a cooler and breezy afternoon.

A stray shower cannot be ruled out, but we’ll see a mainly dry day.

Highs in the lower to mid-90s with less humid conditions.

Sunday will begin a touch cooler and less humid, with temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s.

Temperatures will not be as hot, with highs in the lower to mid-90s. 

While Sunday morning will begin dry, isolated showers will develop closer to the coast Sunday afternoon and evening. 

Hurricane season begins Saturday, and the Weather Authority is forecasting quiet conditions in the tropics for the next few days, at least.

Remember, this Atlantic Hurricane Season is forecast to be very active, so take advantage of the two-week ‘Sales Tax Holiday’ beginning Saturday.
