SWFL IS THE DRIEST PART OF THE STATE RIGHT NOW. Lee County has been added to a Burn Ban until further notice. This means no open fires, like camp fires. Grilling is still permitted. #flwx pic.twitter.com/RaIpP2r6S2

Though we could use a healthy soaking rain, it's not in the cards. A cold front will pass through dry tomorrow with partly cloudy skies. Lower humidity will build in following that front, dropping as low as 18% on Thursday afternoon! Low humidity below 35% is considered critical for fire weather conditions. Any fire that sparks could spread quickly.
High temperatures will climb to 90° on Friday and remain around 90° both Saturday and Easter Sunday with ample sunshine.
Unfortunately, we stay dry through the 7-Day forecast. We are officially 4.55" behind in Punta Gorda since January 1, 4.05" behind for the year in Fort Myers and 4.21" behind in Naples.
