Here is your forecast for Friday, August 30th, 2024
Scattered storms will continue to impact SWFL, especially along and west of I-75, through the evening, wrapping up by 10pm. Heavy downpours, frequent lightning and gusty winds will be the primary threats.
The easterly flow continues for one more day. That means we'll start off Saturday with lots of sunshine. High temperatures will head into the lower 90s and feel more like 100-105°. After 2pm, scattered downpours will begin to develop, continuing through the evening. If you have beach or boating plans, the earlier in the day the better.
HEADS UP! Wet weather could dampen holiday weekend plans. With easterly winds continuing tomorrow, storms are most likely in the afternoon. With a wind shift Sunday, we'll see rain chances increasing in the morning as well. Wet weather is *likely* on Labor Day in the AM & PM. pic.twitter.com/9DElWO9zGH

Then on Sunday and Monday, winds shift and become more southeasterly and southerly. This change will introduce the chance for both morning AND afternoon storms, potentially impacting more plans. Rain chances will increase to 70% on Sunday and up to 80% on Labor Day. The higher chance for rain will keep afternoon highs closer to 90°.
