Credit: The Weather Authority The Weather Authority is tracking isolated storms that could occur throughout the afternoon in our inland communities. The Weather Authority Meteorologist Zach Maloch said, “Showers are in the forecast for our inland communities, with scattered showers and storms likely in the afternoon. The rain is expected to subside by 5 p.m.” Wednesday Hot and steamy day ahead with temperatures in the lower 90s for highs this afternoon. “Feels like” temperatures will range from 102 – 107°. Communities west of I-75 will be drier today, with isolated storms possibly occurring between 2 – 5 p.m. Those storms move east and into our inland communities, where scattered storms are likely to occur through the afternoon and evening. Thursday Warm and humid start to the day with sun and clouds for the morning commute. Afternoon rain and storms will once again develop and impact most of Southwest Florida through the afternoon and evening with more of those heading farther inland through the day. High temperatures remain quite consistent and in the lower 90s. Friday Sun and clouds with warm and humid conditions for your Friday morning commute. While we are starting dry, we’ll see scattered rain and storms for the afternoon and evening. Highs will be quite hot again and in the lower 90s. Tropics Update The Weather Authority is watching the tropics closely. Post-Tropical Cyclone Francine made landfall in southern Louisiana on Wednesday evening around 5 p.m. Two other areas of interest are moving west in the Central Atlantic. Post Tropical Cyclone Francine has max sustained winds of 25 mph and is moving north at 9 mph. According to the NHC, Francine will continue to bring heavy rainfall and risk of flash and urban flooding across portions of the Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley and the southeast. There is a danger of life-threatening storm surge for portions of the Upper Texas and Louisiana coastlines where a Storm Surge Warning is in effect. Francine is expected to bring heavy rainfall and the risk of considerable flash flooding for much of Louisiana and Mississippi through Thursday. An area of low pressure designated as AL92 is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the central tropical Atlantic. Environmental conditions are appearing less conducive to development during the next few days, when some development of this system is possible. Right now, this system looks to remain weak and not a concern. Over the next seven days, there is a 30% chance of further development. Tropical Depression 7 has formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands The depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 18 mph, and a west-to-west-northwest motion at a slower forward speed is anticipated over the next few days. The Weather Authority is monitoring this tropical depression closely, as it could become Tropical Storm Gordon by late Wednesday or early Thursday. The tropical depression is not currently a threat to Florida. A small but well-defined area of low pressure several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. The proximity of dry air near the system is expected to limit additional development overthe next couple of days before environmental conditions become even less conducive by this weekend as it moves slowly west-northwestward. Over the next seven days, there is a 10% chance of further development. A non-tropical area of low pressure could form along a residual frontal boundary a few hundred miles off the southeastern U.S. coastline in a few days. Thereafter, some subtropical or tropical development is possible during the early part of next week as the system meanders over the Gulf Stream or drifts slowly northward. Over the next seven days, there is a 30% chance of further development.
