Friday will be similar to today. We'll start off with mostly sunny skies and morning lows in the mid to upper 70s.
With a wind pattern generally out of the east, showers and storms will be restricted to the afternoon. This means that after 2pm, stay weather aware and keep the rain gear close. Scattered downpours and lightning will be impacting plans and commutes through the evening.
This pattern will continue on Saturday as well, ahead of wetter weather starting Sunday.
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK: Starting Sunday, we'll be watching the potential for heavy rainfall from an area of low pressure in the Gulf. Tropical moisture will bring rounds of heavy rain to SWFL Sunday through Friday, based upon the latest data. Considering how saturated the ground already is, this could lead to flooding. Please stay tuned for updates!
