WEATHER-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

LIMITED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS

A few showers popped up this afternoon, but many places in southwest Florida were dry again today. Showers fell over Collier, Lee and Hendry counties this afternoon. If you were lucky enough to get some rain, you probably got less than half an inch. Looking at the forecast for the rest of the evening, I will likely be tracking a few more showers past sunset along with clouds moving across the area. Temperatures will drop very slowly into the 60's tonight and land at 60 - 62 tomorrow morning.

The forecast for the next few days is not very clear-cut. As we approach the weekend I can almost guarantee that the warm weather will continue. Highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will easily top out above 80 degrees. The 'tricky' part of the forecast through the weekend will be the return of a little more tropical moisture from the southeast. By Saturday and Sunday it looks like there could be enough moisture around to kick off a couple of isolated showers over the weekend. It certainly does not appear to be a big deal, and like the past few days, the showers I'm talking about here would only cover a limited area across southwest Florida.

LEE CO TRACKING THE FLU-VO
