Here is your forecast for Tuesday, February 17th, 2025.
We are tracking two cold fronts that will pass through SWFL between now and Sunday.
Tonight, ahead of cold front #1, temperatures will stay mild in the low and mid-60s. Extra moisture will bring the potential for patchy fog developing after midnight.
The first half of Wednesday will feature sunshine with increasing clouds in the afternoon. High temperatures are forecast in the low to mid-80s.
After 4pm, keep an umbrella on hand. Showers and storms will start first in Sarasota county around 4pm, continuing southward into the rest of SWFL through 8pm. Pockets of heavy rain and lightning will remain our primary threats. The risk for strong and severe storms remains very low.
Cooler temperatures will filter in Thursday following this front with highs in the mid-70s and lows dropping into the 40s Friday morning!
WEEKEND OUTLOOK:
Saturday will feature partly cloudy skies and seasonable temperatures with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s. Sunday, cold front #2 will bring widespread showers and storms to SWFL. It's too early for specific timing. We'll continue to fine-tune that once the system develops and new data arrive.
