DRIER WEATHER COMING
An abundance of tropical moisture which arrived over the weekend and hung on today will gradually give way to some drier air by Wednesday. For the balance of this evening I expect a few more downpours and thunderstorms to wash in from the Gulf of Mexico on the southwest wind we have in place. It looks reasonable to expect passing showers or a storm through midnight. Temperatures will not drop off too much tonight and we will stay in the upper 70's by tomorrow morning with high humidity.

VIOLATING THE LAW --

I enjoy the lifestyle of being on the water here in Florida, that's why we moved here.
He's lived along the caloosahatchee river for two years.
And while friendly sea creatures don't bother him, the algae he sees every now and again does.

It really doesn't go away. It just moves around a little bit but it doesn't really go away it's always somewhere around here.
three environmental organizations around the state filed a federal lawsuit today in hopes of improving the river.
According to that lawsuit, environmentalists like the conservancy of southwest florida say poor water quality violates the clean water act by not managing the lake to keep the river at appropriate water standards.
And they say the u-s army corps of engineers can fix it with more frequent releases.
Sot 10 seconds
We need it. And we should be an equal partner at the table but were not, we're the stepchild."
The corps operates three locks that allow water to flow from the lake to the gulf.
Emvironmrntalists want the river to move at minimum flow, or 300 cubic feet per second, but right now they say it's not.
They say if the lock gates were open more it would help the situation.
Sot Andrew McElwaine - president of conservancy of swfl
2:53. 3:07
"what the suit would do is compel the army corps to meet a minimum flow level to the river and create a more natural flow regime in the river so it can begin to heal.
Sabo doesn't know if the lawsuit will fix the problem, but he's staying positive it might be the answer.
17:16. 17:18
I hope that they come up with a solution

The forecast for tomorrow calls for a few showers in the morning and midday with gradually improving weather by late day. Our high temperatures will hit the low 90's tomorrow afternoon as more sunshine prevails. It's possible that a few inland thunderstorms will pop up on Tuesday afternoon and drift inland toward Lake Okeechobee.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I expect hot weather and mainly quiet afternoons. The chance for a thunderstorm will drop to 20% or less for these days. High temperatures for the week will continue to climb into the lower 90's and hit the middle 90's by the end of the week.
