WEATHER-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

Clouds dominated our skies once again today across Southwest Florida with little to no sunshine. This has kept temperatures well below the 90° mark with most locations sitting in the middle to upper 80s.

Up until this point, the vast majority of the area has stayed mainly dry with only a few sprinkles and patchy rain areas showing up on radar. A few downpours will try to get going late this afternoon and will linger into the early evening hours.

Once the rain fades tonight, our skies will go fairly quiet and the clouds will begin to thin just a bit overnight as lows settle into the mid 70s by morning.

Our Thursday will more than likely start off with more clouds and dry weather. Through the afternoon, a few more rays of sunshine will breakout allowing temperatures to rebound into the low 90s. We'll also be in more of a summertime pattern, where showers and a few storms favor the afternoon and evening hours close to the urban corridor.

Friday and into the weekend, expect a mix of sun and clouds, while most of the rain activity holds off until the afternoon. With a turn in our steering winds by Sunday off the Gulf of Mexico, a few morning showers can't be ruled out before they get pushed deeper inland by the afternoon.

Early next week, a cold front will stall across the Peninsula just to the north of the area. This will keep our weather pattern a bit unsettled as we kick off the month of October.
