Here is your forecast for Friday, September 27, 2024:
Now that Helene has made landfall, its trailing showers and storms continue to wind down. The Tornado Watch has been canceled across SWFL. The Flood Watch has been canceled for Collier, Hendry and Glades but remains in effect for Lee, Charlotte, DeSoto and Sarasota counties.
Heading into Friday, we'll still have scattered showers and storms in the mix, so keep the rain gear handy. Winds will be breezy and gust between 20-25 mph out of the west. That westerly wind will continue to force water onshore, maintaining the threat for Coastal Flooding through the day. A Storm Surge Warning remains in effect.
High temperatures are expected in the upper 80s but with the muggy air, it will feel more like 102°.
Heading into the weekend, scattered showers and storms are expected both weekend days but winds are expected to be much lighter.
