Here is your forecast for Thursday, September 5th, 2024
Showers and storms will continue to produce pockets of heavy rain and lightning across SWFL. If you can hear thunder, then you're close enough to be struck by lightning. Play it safe, and get indoors or to your car. Storms will wind down around midnight.
Overnight, clouds will clear out and we'll kick off Friday with lots of sunshine. After 2pm, storms will be developing but aren't expected to be as numerous across SWFL. Rain chances will be around 40% Friday afternoon and evening, decreasing to 30% on Saturday afternoon.
Fewer storms also mean hotter temperatures returning to the mid-90s. Factor in the high humidity and our heat index values will climb between 105-110°. More Heat Advisories may be issued.
Especially during this time of year, remember to drink plenty of fluids; stay in an air-conditioned room during the hottest part of the day and out of the sun. Check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.
Rain chances return to 60% on Sunday.
