GLOOMY WEEKEND AHEAD
First Alert Live Doppler Radar will get a good work out this weekend.
Moisture is increasing as our winds shift from the south, and that is going to spike our rain chances.
Saturday and Sunday will be gloomy at times. There will be a lot of cloud cover, but there will the occasional peak of sunshine. Numerous thunderstorms can be expected across all of southwest Florida… So plan accordingly!
Rain chances take a precipitous drop Monday through mid week. What storm cells pop up will be very isolated in nature.
Highs will cool off slightly, too. Lower 90s will be the rule, however, when one adds the humidity… It'll still feel muggy and uncomfortable.
For you beach and boat goers expect winds from the south at 5-10 knots, seas 1-2 feet, and a light chop for the inland waterways.
As for the tropics we are watching Tropical Depression Seven. It can be found right in between the Lesser Antilles and the Cape Verde Islands. Forecast models project it to take a westward track. In fact, it'll nearly follow Ernesto's same track. As it Seven pushes west, we do expect it to develop into a Tropical Storm.
The next area of interest is a low pressure system off the coast of Africa.
As of now neither will have an effect on southwest Florida.
