NEAR RECORD HEAT FOR ANOTHER WEEK
We broke the record yesterday with a high of 88 degrees. The old record was 85 set back in 1974. It also became the all time warmest day in January history for Southwest Florida.
High pressure is to blame for our near record heat. It's also keeping storms and cold fronts away from our area, and it'll continue to do so for at least the next week.
We will stay about 10 degrees above normal for the next few days. In fact, we'll be right around the record high of 86 degrees tomorrow afternoon. I wouldn't be surprised if we actually tie or even break that record.
Same story on Friday.
Through the next seven days, we'll stay warm with no good rain chances coming our way. It'll simply be partly sunny each afternoon with highs in the lower to mid 80s after starting off around 65 to 70 degrees.
As mentioned above our rain chances are very low. I don't expect any showers or storms for us, but with this type of heat one or two rogue showers cannot be completely ruled out. We all discovered that on Tuesday!
Thankfully if one does pop up… It'll last less than 10 minutes. As you can see this is a pattern that gives us weather tantamount to summer.
