Here is your forecast for Wednesday, August 21st, 2024.
Scattered storms will continue through this evening. If you're out and about, keep the rain gear close, as downpours and lightning continue to be our primary threats.
After midnight, showers and storms will become more isolated, and that's what we'll start off Thursday with. Keep the rain gear close throughout the day; rain chances stay high at 70%.
The reasons for the high rain chances are an onshore flow out of the southwest along and a frontal boundary that has stalled out near Southwest Florida. This combination will keep our rain chances high tomorrow as well.
Starting Friday into the weekend, we will see the return of the southeasterly flow and that is a stormy weather pattern for us in the afternoons.
Friday we will see a little more sunshine early with a 60% chance of showers and storms after 2pm with highs in the low 90s. That rain chances comes up Saturday and Sunday to 60-70% in afternoon hours but mornings should stay fairly dry for outdoor plans.
This typical summertime pattern will check our temperatures in the low to mid 90s each day with the heat index values between 100°-107° each day.
