SHOW OPEN-CLIP

FIRST WEATHER-WXWALL

A stalled front over the Florida peninsula is pumping lots of tropical moisture into Southwest Florida and is also helping to trigger rain and thunderstorms over the area and also in the Gulf of Mexico.

With the southwesterly wind flow in place, the trend will be for the rain in the Gulf of Mexico to drift towards the Southwest Florida coastline. Expect off and on showers and even a couple of thunderstorms through the evening.

The activity will wind down later tonight, with a mostly to partly cloudy sky and low temperatures near 75º.

The front doesn't move much tomorrow, so the pattern will remain the same, with lots of clouds, some sun from time to time and over half of Southwest Florida will get a shower or thunderstorm. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

The front begins to fall apart a bit by Thursday & Friday and a northeast wind will bridge the front, which will slightly dry us out and lower the rain chance. Still, about half of Southwest Florida will get some rain.

The weekend looks to be more of what you would expect this time of the year. Easterly wind flow will give us sun in the morning. Then the sea breeze moves ashore in the afternoon and triggers the afternoon storms.
