The Weather Authority: If you found Saturday hot, brace yourself—Sunday will be warmer

Above-average temperatures continue.

Temperatures will be even slightly warmer than Saturday by a degree or two across Southwest Florida, putting most of the area in the mid-90s by the afternoon.

A plume of Saharan dust is working its way through, making the sky appear hazy at times.

“Scattered showers and storms are possible, though rain coverage will be slightly limited,” added The Weather Authority Meteorologist Lauren Kreidler.

A Heat Advisory remains in effect for our inland communities and all of Collier County until 6 p.m. due to ‘feels-like’ temperatures reaching upwards of 110 degrees.

For the boaters, it is going to feel hot on the water. There is a slight breeze out of the southeast, around 5 to 10 knots throughout the day.

“The water temperature in the Gulf is reaching a warm 90 degrees,” added Kreidler. “Overall, it’s not going to be a bad boating day, just stay hydrated and wear plenty of sunscreen!”

Tropical moisture is on its way towards us, increasing our chances of rain in the form of scattered showers and storms Monday into Tuesday.

This will also push our temperatures back to near average, topping out around 92 degrees for Monday and Tuesday before we warm back up and see drier air come back into play by midweek.
