Here is your forecast for Wednesday, April 16th, 2025.
A weak cold front passed through SWFL this afternoon. While temperatures won't change much, you will notice exceptionally dry air Thursday with humidity levels dropping as low as 20%.
The National Weather Service says despite the low relative humidity, lighter winds on Thursday should keep SWFL out of a Red Flag Warning. Nonetheless, any fire that does start could spread quickly as the ground is very dry, and there's no chance for significant rainfall in the next 7-days.
A Burn Ban is in effect for SWFL until further notice with the exception of DeSoto county.
Thursday's high temperatures will climb into the upper 80s, around 90° in Punta Gorda. With winds becoming easterly Friday, temperatures will heat up even more to 90° across the area. Saturday will feature highs around 91° and mostly sunny skies, toasty for any outdoor egg hunts. Easter Sunday will stay hot around 90° with partly cloudy skies.
