NUMEROUS STORMS FOR SATURDAY
This weekend will be a split decision. Saturday will be cloudy and rainy while Sunday will have more sunshine and less rain.
What I'm saying - Sunday is the day you'll want to go outside!
There's three features at play in our weather for the next two days. First is a tropical wave sitting to our southeast, next an old frontal boundary, and lastly a big low pressure center in the upper atmosphere. They're all working together to give us the not so great weather.
The good news - we will see breaks in the clouds from time to time, and Sunday will be very sunny.
Tropical type downpours will be numerous and widespread tomorrow. Coastal showers early? Yes, but they'll be very isolated. The widespread and robust downpours will occur between 2 to 7 PM.
Sunday through Tuesday looks to be normal. By "normal" I mean partly sunny skies and isolated thunderstorms each evening.
Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Also, nothing of interest in the tropics for southwest Florida right!
