Here is your forecast for Friday, October 11th, 2024

East and northeasterly winds are driving in Atlantic moisture today across SWFL. With such dry air in the mid and upper levels, this moisture is low-level and shallow, so you don't have to worry about heavy rainfall or the threat for lightning with the light showers rolling through, but do keep those umbrellas handy.

Heading into Saturday, winds will stay easterly, gusting to 16 mph, so we'll still have a mix of clouds and sunshine. A few showers cannot be ruled out. We'll see a slightly higher chance for isolated rain on Sunday, ahead of a cold front on Monday.

Morning temperatures will run in the upper 60s and low 70s through the weekend. Much cooler mornings are forecast next week, following a cold front on Monday.

Monday's front will bring scattered rain across SWFL, followed by a big drop in dew points and humidity that will last through next week. Strong high pressure settling in behind that front starting Tuesday will keep any rain and tropical development away from Florida through the work week.
