FANTASTIC WEEKEND AHEAD
As expected we saw more sunshine than yesterday. That's going to translate into a pretty great weekend, too!
The old frontal boundary we've been talking about is finally fading away. It's been meandering around south Florida, the Gulf, and part of the south central U.S. It was the focus for our weather for many days, and it kept the moisture locked in place. Consequently, we saw a lot of clouds and periods of rain.
The weather conditions are improving as a result of the front falling apart.
This weekend looks just fine to be outdoors. Even more sunshine will be available! Our winds are going to be light and from the east. When our winds are from the east and the sea breeze begins - the east wind will pin the sea breeze along the urban corridor. We expect that to happen during the afternoon hours, and that will be the area our storms are concentrated.
Will it be a washout? No, but you will definitely see some heavy rain and hear a rumble of thunder during the late afternoon. It will not hinder any of your plans.
Winds start coming from the south early next week. Monday will be the day of transition, too. Winds from the south-southwest spell out morning showers and interior afternoon storms. This will begin Monday and last through midweek. Simply put - keep the umbrella at hand.
Temperatures will be right around our average this week! Lower 90s are in the forecast.
When it comes to tropical weather, we see no concerns for southwest Florida!
