Here is your forecast for Wednesday August 7th.
It was another breezy day with gusts up to 32 mph in Punta Gorda, 27 mph in Fort Myers and 24 mph in Naples. Thursday will stay breezy at times with gusts to 20 mph. With that continued onshore wind, the threat for rip currents will remain high through Thursday evening.
Heads up for a High Risk for Rip Currents again tomorrow. As #Debby moves northward Friday, we'll gradually see its influence diminish, which will improve our gusty winds and the risk for rip currents. #flwx pic.twitter.com/XaEjPl32L8

Tomorrow, we will see a very similar forecast as today with rain chances staying isolated around 30%. Temperatures will stay hot and humid. We'll start off in the upper 70s and lower 80s. Afternoon temperatures will climb into the low and mid 90s. Factor in the humidity and it will feel more like 102-106°.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we will get back to our summertime pattern of sunshine in the morning and storms developing after 2pm. Rain chances Saturday and Sunday will be between 50-60%.
