Here is your forecast for Monday, July 29th, 2024.

Good evening. This evening we are tracking pretty decent storm coverage across SWFL. These storms should stick around sunset, before coming an end. The rest of the night will be partly cloudy as temperatures drop into the upper 70s.

On Tuesday, we will start with partly sunny skies as temperatures climb into the low 90s, with feels like temperatures around 103°. During the morning rain chances will be around 30%, before picking to around 60-70% chance during the afternoon. As has been the case recently, some storms may produce localized heavy rainfall posing a risk for ponding on roads and some instances of flooding particularly in low lying and poor drainage areas.

While rain chances increase early in the day tomorrow, the latter half of the week will mainly feature late afternoon and evening storms. Temps also increase a few degrees in tandem with afternoon heat indices potentially approaching Heat Advisory criteria. Showers and storms will continue to be driven primarily by a sea breeze, keeping the highest chances in our interior locations during the afternoon into evening hours.

Next weekend's rain chances closely depend on activity in the tropics. For the latest information on a developing wave in the Atlantic, CLICK HERE.
