Most of Thursday’s storms are done for the day. An isolated shower or t-storm is still possible, but rain chances are low for the remainder of the night and through Friday morning.
It will be partly cloudy and muggy overnight with lows in the upper 70s. We will see more clouds than sunshine on Friday with scattered afternoon storms. Highs will reach the lower 90s. The evening looks to be drier, but a stray storm isn’t out of the question.
We will continue to be in a stormy weather pattern through the weekend with afternoon and evening storms. By Monday, high pressure in the Gulf will move closer which will help keep Southwest Florida’s coast drier next week.
