Here is your forecast for Monday, February 17th, 2025.

After last evening's cold front, we're enjoying lower dew points and humidity on this President's Day. But, it won't last.

Tonight will be cooler in most communities, dropping into the 50s and lower 60s. High temperatures will climb into the lower 80s Tuesday afternoon.

As winds shift, dew points return to the lower 60s in the afternoon, setting us up for a muggier, warmer start Wednesday. While fog won't be a concern tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, it will be Wednesday morning.

Wednesday afternoon, warm southerly winds will continue driving up the heat and humidity. Showers and storms will start first in Sarasota county around 4pm, continuing southward into the rest of SWFL through 8pm. Pockets of heavy rain and lightning will remain our primary threats.

Cooler temperatures will filter in Thursday following this front with highs in the mid-70s and low dropping into the 40s Friday morning!
