Here is your forecast from Thursday, July 18th 2024.
Good evening, Southwest Florida! It has been a rather stormy afternoon, especially in Glades and Hendry Counties. One of those storms even produced a waterspout on Lake O near Lakeport. Storm chances will come to an end around 8pm with clearing skies the rest of the night.
On Friday, we will be waking up to temperatures in the upper 70s in the morning before we are our way up to the low to mid 90s once again. Our rain chances increase this afternoon after 2pm, mainly east of I-75.
Our rain chances will increase in the days ahead with Saturday having a 70% chance and Sunday having an 80% chance of rain. Rain chance will remain around 80% for much of next week as more moisture and a little disturbance moves over Southwest Florida. Also, this weekend, look for an increase in Saharan Dust on Sunday. When dust is around, thunderstorms tend to produce more lightning.
