Here is your forecast for Thursday, August 15th, 2024.
Ready for a break from the heat and humidity? So are we! And, it looks like we'll feel that respite this weekend.
For now, it's hot and humid with scattered downpours across SWFL. Storms on radar this evening will wind down by 9pm.
We'll start off Friday morning muggy around 80°. A few inland showers will be possible for the first half of the day. We'll have a better chance for scattered storms in the afternoon.
After 5pm, the concentration of storms move into Collier county, as drier air begins building in from the north. You'll feel the lower dew points and more comfortable humidity as early as Friday evening.
Both Saturday and Sunday will feature that lower humidity. With the drier air in place aloft as well, rain chances will stay minimal at just 10%. The drier air will also lead to cooler morning lows in the mid-70s (where they should be this time of year), about 5° cooler than they have been.
SLIGHT BREAK FROM THE HUMIDITY? I know it may not seem like much, but when you've been dealing with dew points 75°+ for weeks, dew points in the mid-60s will be a treat this weekend! Along with the lower humidity, AM lows will run about 5° cooler than they have been...#flwx pic.twitter.com/t4vAiUmkjv
