WEATHER-PWC

BETTER WEATHER IN OUR FUTURE

This week hasn't been a complete wash out, but we have picked up a hefty amount of rainfall.

Good news, better weather is ahead, but first, we must get through the next 24 hours. During that time frame we will see a few more inches.

This rain is streaming in from the Gulf and Caribbean ahead of a cold front. That's right - I said cold front. Sadly the cooler air behind the front will not make it into southwest Florida.

Instead we will see more rain for Wednesday. This is mother nature's way of teasing us! We get rain while everyone to our north gets nice, fall weather.

There will be a few morning showers to start Wednesday, and eventually those will push north. We're still locked for scattered storms tomorrow. So keep that umbrella! Thankfully we will see more sunshine tomorrow, but nonetheless the rain will stay.

Thursday through Saturday we will see near normal conditions. Dry mornings, partly sunny skies, and afternoon storms.

There will be an uptick in rain on Sunday as a piece of energy streams over from the Gulf.

Highs will return to the lower 90s.
