SHOW OPEN-CLIP

FIRST WEATHER-WX WALL

MORE SUN, FEWER SHOWERS

Hopefully you were able to stay dry today, nearly all of us saw rain! As we progress through the week, the rain will be replaced with sun.

The movement of each storm cell was due east as it all glided along a frontal boundary to our north. That boundary is separating muggy air to the south, and dry, fall like weather to the north.

As the front sinks further it'll erode away. That's sad news for us because the nice weather over the southeast will not penetrate our area!

However, by southwest Florida standards the weather will be great.

Here is what's on the docket - lots of sunshine, less in the way of rain, and more in the way of beach time.

There will be a stray shower or two early in the morning, but 90% of the area will be dry. During the afternoon hours we'll see the sea breeze push through and our storms will be concentrated along it. Due to the winds now being from the northeast, the sea breeze will be pinned along the urban corridor. Make sure the windshield wipers are working for the drive home!

Wednesday into the weekend, you'll really see and feel the changes. Temperatures will rebound due to a lot of sunshine. They'll be in the mid 90s, and with humid air in place - it'll feel around 100 degrees! Isolated storms will be in the forecast each afternoon, but they'll be very widely spaced. Rain chances will be around 30% each day.

Boating conditions are improving, too, so it's time to start back hitting the water and catching some rays!
