Here is your forecast for Monday, February 24th, 2025.

It is a wet and stormy night across SWFL. While storms are not severe, they are strong, producing gusts to 50 mph. RSW recorded a peak gust of 50 mph; Punta Rassa and Fox 4 in Cape Coral recorded peak gusts of 45 mph, as the strong storms moved through Monday night. As for rainfall totals, Fox 4 in Cape Coral has now surpassed 2.50"!

Today marked the wettest day since November 5th for Fort Myers. Considering most of SWFL is in moderate to severe drought, rain is welcome. And, because it's been so dry, our threat for flooding is very low.

After midnight through the morning commute, showers will thin out with rain chances dropping to 30%. By lunch time, rain will be out of SWFL with clouds gradually clearing in the afternoon. We can expect a sunny afternoon/evening commute with temperatures in the mid-70s for highs.

Morning lows Wednesday morning will be a little cooler in the 50s, but Wednesday and Thursday afternoons will feel a nice warm-up into the lower 80s.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Radar stays dry both Saturday and Sunday with lows in the mid-50s and highs around 80°.
