Happy Thursday, Southwest Florida! The Weather Authority is tracking another hot and humid day in store with highs soaring into the mid 90s. Unfortunately, it’s that time of the year! When you factor in the temperature and the dew point, it’ll feel closer to 100°. Our potential for spotty rain increases by the late afternoon […]

Happy Wednesday, Southwest Florida! Get ready for another scorcher as highs reach the low-mid 90s this afternoon. When you factor in the humidity, our heat index (or “feels like” temperatures) will skyrocket to the upper 90s and lower 100s. One of the reasons why we’re so hot: little-to-no rainfall is expected across the region this […]

Happy Friday, Southwest Florida! Rain today is going to come in a little earlier than yesterday for our coastal areas. Due to a dominant westerly wind, rain and storms will come in earlier near the coast before generally moving inland. By lunchtime and early afternoon, scattered storms will be hugging the I-75 corridor and eastward. […]

Get ready for another round of scattered rain and storms! The tropical moisture will allow for heavy rain and the potential for minor flooding. Before we get there, highs will reach the upper 80s and lower 90s. “Feels like” temperatures will peak a little bit higher due to high humidity. If you have outdoor plans, […]

Happy Wednesday, Southwest Florida! Get ready for another round of heat, humidity, and the opportunity for rain and storms. Highs reach the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon with “feels like” temperatures even higher. Scattered rain and storms will be most likely along and immediately east and west of the I-75 corridor today. Notice […]

It’s the first day of June, and boy, does it feel like it! Highs will reach the upper 80s and lower 90s this afternoon. When you factor in the humidity, heat indices (or feels like temperatures) will reach the mid-upper 90s. A few spots could flirt with the 100s. Thankfully, we see scattered storms to […]

As we honor and remember those who died for our country this Memorial Day, we will also be tracking rain and storms across Southwest Florida. The general idea today for outdoor plans is the earlier the better. Most of our rainfall will roll in after lunchtime. Rain and storms will near I-75 and west around […]

Happy Friday, Southwest Florida! Expect a few more showers and storms today with an uptick in humidity levels. Temperatures will still peak in the low-mid 90s inland and the upper 80s near the coast due to an onshore wind. That Gulf sea breeze is going to push most of our rainfall east of I-75 throughout […]

Happy Thursday, Southwest Florida! Expect the return of humidity and a chance of rain this afternoon. Before we get to the showers, highs will peak in the upper 80s near the coast and low-mid 90s inland. Our best opportunity for rain will come in the late afternoon and early evening hours, primarily east of I-75. […]

With hotter-than-normal temperatures today and summer approaching, it’s a good reminder of the distinction between heat exhaustion and heatstroke! This can mean the difference between water and A/C being able to cool someone down or needing to call 9-1-1 immediately. Drier-than-normal conditions and lack of rainfall will allow for an increased fire danger index again […]
