Here is your forecast for Tuesday, December 17th, 2024
Hello spring! Record and near-record temperatures today felt more like spring, but that trend will come to a halt later this weekend.
NEW RECORD IN PUNTA GORDA SET: 87° at PGD tied the former record set in 1948. Both Naples and Fort Myers were within 1-2°. These are temperatures more typical of April...if you're craving a cool down, just wait until this weekend! #flwx pic.twitter.com/rT682zx4tb

Wednesday starts off in the upper 60s with afternoon highs in the low 80s. A few showers will be possible in the afternoon with easterly winds between 5-10 mph.
On Thursday, you'll notice a bit more cloud cover ahead of an approaching cold front which will slowly progress southward through SWFL. This may trigger a shower or two but heavy rain and storms are not expected.
Behind this front, Friday will feel like average with lows in the upper 50s and highs in the upper 70s...then comes the drop. High temperatures on Saturday will only climb into the 60s with lows this weekend in the 40s!
