Friday

Saharan dust will slowly be moving out of Southwest Florida, which means more rain will be popping up and impacting your Friday plans.

Scattered rain and storms are looking likely Friday afternoon and evening. 

Due to the rain, highs will be a touch cooler, in the upper 80s and lower 90s, with “feels like” temperatures ranging from 97 102°. 

Saharan dust is moving across the Atlantic Ocean and keeping the tropics quieter.

No development is expected in the tropics over the next seven days.

An area of low pressure is located off the southeastern U.S. coast and is currently producing some disorganized showers and thunderstorms.

There is a low 10% chance of further development over the next seven days as it moves inland.
