WEATHER-PWC


A few hit or miss storms will continue to develop through the late afternoon hours, but with the onshore breeze expect most of these to push deeper inland toward the Lake Okeechobee area. Once the sun sets and we lose the daytime heating, most of Southwest Florida will be rain free.

Tonight, clearing skies are in the forecast and it will be warm and muggy as overnight lows settle into the middle and upper 70s by morning.

Moisture associated with a weak wave has lifted north, and will allow for a drier and more stable airmass to move in overhead. This will keep the sunshine in full force for Wednesday with a few fair weather cumulus clouds developing during the afternoon. An isolated shower can't be ruled out during the peak heating of the day, otherwise the vast majority of us will stay dry.

Hotter temperatures are also on the way with daytime highs in the middle 90s, with slightly cooler readings at the coast and beach locations. Combine this with the humidity and the heat index or "feels like" temperature will be in the low 100s.

A drier and hotter than normal pattern looks to stay in place as we round out the work week and into the weekend. This means rain prospects will stay on the lower end with temperatures in the mid 90s. Return to index of stories...
