Here’s your forecast for Wednesday, June 5th, 2024.
With showers few and far between, it was a record-setting day across SWFL. For only the fifth time EVER (going back to 1914), Punta Gorda hit 101°, breaking the former record of 98°. Fort Myers tied the record of 98°. Naples was cooled down by a sea-breeze and stayed closer to "normal" at 91°.
CHECK THIS OUT! The power of the sea breeze kept Naples "normal" in the lower 90s, while we saw record highs in Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Of note, this is the second time in just ONE WEEK that PGD has hit 101°... #flwx pic.twitter.com/0bANuKveM3

Tomorrow, our rain chance increases to 40% with showers developing near the coast around lunch, moving inland between I-75 and Lake Okeechobee for the afternoon, then drifting back toward the coast in the evening.
Highs tomorrow will climb up to 94° before the showers and storms cool things off for the evening. With the humidity it will feel more like 100-105°.
Scattered rain will be possible again on Friday with chances a little lower over the weekend around 20-30%.
