Here is your forecast for Wednesday October 2nd, 2024

Outdoor plans the next few days? The earlier each day, the better.

With a wind pattern generally out of the east, showers and storms will be restricted to each afternoon. This means that after 2pm, stay weather aware and keep the rain gear close. Scattered downpours and lightning will be impacting plans and commutes through each evening.

On the flip side, each morning will feature lots of sunshine, and quickly climbing temperatures. Highs will continue in the lower 90s and heat index values feeling more like 100-105°.

HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL NEXT WEEK: Starting Sunday, we'll be watching the potential for heavy rainfall from an area of low pressure in the Gulf. Tropical moisture will bring rounds of heavy rain to SWFL Sunday through Wednesday, based upon the latest data. Considering how saturated the ground already is, this could lead to flooding. Please stay tuned for updates!
