Here is your forecast heading into Saturday.
It was a record setting day in Fort Myers, where high temperatures hit 86°! That tied the record set in 1986. Punta Gorda was within 1° of records, and the weekend will be similar.
We'll start off with areas of haze both Saturday and Sunday mornings, clearing out around 9am.
Morning temperatures will start in the low and mid-60s, warming into the low and mid-80s in the afternoon, 5-10° above normal. (Our average of 77° for this time of the year.)
The weekend will continue the warmer-than-normal trend with highs around 85° both days and lots of sunshine.
Saturday will stay dry with just a 20% rain chance Sunday in our inland communities. A widespread, soaking rain is not in the 7-day forecast.
