Thanks again for tuning in as we have showers and
thunderstorms and a very pronounced line working its way across
the state of Florida. The cold front is closer
to the big ben number of lightning strikes 223 over
the past 15 minutes mainly to our north and to
our west. But I am loving this so far
because nothing has been powerful. Nothing has been severe
. Now, granted, you're gonna see some rain
as well as some occasional flashes of light and some
gusty wind 35 to 40. But overall, these
storms have been behaving themselves so that continues to lower
the chances for severe weather in the hours ahead.
Now, let's still take a look at that heavy
rain passing by areas of desoto county soaking us 17
, our viewers in Arcadia all the way down into
Charlotte County, seeing those pockets of rain. One
after another shaded in yellow, orange and red and
it's a fast mover. Heavy rain is going to
be brief as we highlight South Gulf Cove rotunda Placeta
rain briefly working its way through as it will continue
to make that trek inland at about 40 miles an
hour. So some of the timing working its way
towards Pine Island Center and then Cape Coral over the
next 30 to even 60 minutes. And then here's
a even updated time frame towards Babcock Ranch. 705
more areas of Cape Coral towards about seven and 715
. And then down the road, La Belle 730
to 8. Some of the highest wind gusts today
. And ironically, this was even before the rain
44 miles an hour at Panagora Airport, San Carlos
Park, Arcadia. There's RSW uh Fort Myers paid
field 41 and Naples at 40 something interesting I want
to talk about. So you obviously see the wind
speed sustained at 15 to 25. Best way to
think about the wind. Wind is a force and
that wind force is coming right off of the water
. Our tide levels, I just checked they are
2 ft above normal. Now, the good news
is we're at low tide right now. But later
this evening, you may start to see those tide
levels come up a bit but nothing too major temperatures
right now. Upper seventies and lower eighties, there
is the cold front as it is working its way
towards Tampa Bay and you can see the drier air
behind it due points currently in the thirties and forties
. So here's a live look fisherman's village that rain
working its way through as we will continue to track
this line as it works. Its way into Lee
County at about 78 and nine. And then notice
how after that point really starts to break apart.
Models have been consistently showing a weakening trend with just
some leftovers, uh, some scattered rain for our
viewers into Collier County towards Lake O and then for
tomorrow morning, a few isolated showers. But starting
to wrap up actually for, uh, most of
the morning drier air moves in temperatures into the sixties
for tomorrow. A good looking day. Uh plenty
of sunshine into the afternoon, some occasional passing clouds
and for parts of our area, we may struggle
to even hit the eighties 79 in Fort Myers,
77 in Naples, it will be breezy along the
coastline and at the beaches, you see that northwest
flow sustained to 10 to 20 gusting higher than that
, that wind. If anything, the best way
to think about it is going to be transporting in
from the north drier air and lower humidity, we
can gauge that with our due points only in the
forties and fifties towards the weekend. And that also
allows our temperatures to drop into the fifties, refreshing
mornings coming up for the weekend and a borderline light
jacket weather for Arcadia Babcock Ranch and Lehigh acres to
name a few. And it's going to be one
of those type of patterns for the weekend. Cool
in the morning, warm in the afternoon, picture
perfect weather, 80 mostly sunny on Saturday, sun
and clouds on Sunday and then the warmth builds in
with 87 Tuesday and look at that almost flirting with
90 by Wednesday. All right. Thank you, 00:03:54.800 --> Matt.
