It’s going to be another hot and humid day today across SWFL, with little-to-no rainfall out there to help cool things down.
We’re starting our day with well above average temperatures, as high humidity is leaving us with morning lows in the middle and upper 70s. Temperatures will climb into the lower 90s by the afternoon, with ‘feels like’ numbers peaking between 105°-110° in most spots. Rain chances will remain low as well, with only an isolated downpour or two early by the coast this morning and a few storms by Lake Okeechobee during the afternoon and evening.
Broad low pressure will sag southward over northern Florida this weekend, helping to bring a return of some downpours and thunderstorms, especially on Sunday afternoon. The heat and humidity will look to stick around, with highs holding in the 90s and feels like numbers over 100°
Tracking the Tropics:
A disturbance moving off the coast of Africa has a medium chance to develop as it drifts westward into next week toward the Caribbean. If it were to take a name, it would be Bret. This appears to be no immediate threat to Florida, but we’ll be tracking it closely, so stick with ABC7 for the latest.
