The Weather Authority is tracking drier conditions for your Friday afternoon, and the clearing out of Saharan dust by sunset.

The Weather Authority Meteorologist Zach Maloch said, “For the afternoon, the rain will taper off from the morning, bringing in some drier conditions for your Friday afternoon and evening plans.”

We’ll see isolated showers and a few storms through the afternoon with drier conditions expected for your Friday evening plans.

Highs will be in the upper 80s and lower 90s.

Saharan dust will be moving out of the area throughout the day, which means we may see a bit more breaks in the clouds come sunset in the evening.

Saharan dust moves out of Southwest Florida on Saturday, which means more rain will be popping up and impacting your weekend.

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

Due to the Saharan dust moving out and a bit more sunshine, highs will be warmer and in the lower to mid-90s.

“Feels like” temperatures will be hotter as well and range from 101 – 106°.
