THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
MORE RAIN IN THE FORECAST
Our weather will hardly change over the next two days.
Overcast skies will remain the rule. Sure we will see breaks in the clouds and catch a glimpse or two of sunshine, but there will be more clouds than anything.
Periods of showers will also stay in the mix. They'll be scattered in the morning and become isolated during the evening hours.
I know a lot of you will be out early so do what you can to stay dry!
Same goes for Monday, too. Rain will come in waves from the early morning through the evening. With kids getting back to school - make sure they are able to keep the rain off the new backpacks!
After Monday we'll see more sun. Temperatures will range from 90 to 93, and our thunderstorms will stay right along the sea breeze.
Tropical Depression Helene is weakening as it hits Mexico. It's staying out of the U.S.
Next, Hurricane Gordon is strengthening as it heads for the azores, and continues to head well away from us.
Lastly, a tropical wave sits very close to the Cape Verde Islands. It is encountering a better environenment for developing further. Thus, it has a good chance of becoming our next depression.
We'll keep an eye on it. As of now there are no threats to southwest Florida.
Just stay dry!
