Here is your weather forecast for Wednesday, April 30th, 2025.

Our hot and dry weather pattern has returned with high pressure settled just off the Southeastern coast. That will bring us a flow out of the southeast tomorrow.

Thursday morning will start off mostly sunny with temperatures in the upper 60s. Partly cloudy skies are forecast for the afternoon with highs near 90°. Friday will be similar.

Weekend plans? Saturday will feature a 20% chance for a passing afternoon shower. Sunday will see a slightly better chance at 30% in the afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front. The best chance for rain arrives on Monday as a cold front moves through, increasing our rain chances to 60%, great news for the ongoing drought!

In Fort Myers, we received 0.76" for the month of April, compared to the average of 2.44". Our rainy season, on average, starts on May 15th.
