Welcome back. Southwest Florida, checking in with wings
live Doppler three X at this point in the afternoon
, I'm tracking really just one storm here in southern
and central Collier County, north of Port of the
Islands, northwest of Copeland. It's now starting to
try to drift eastward uh towards State road 29 but
otherwise just a couple of lightning strikes. This is
certainly trying to grow and strengthen and will really be
the only thing I'm tracking as of right now with
some developing showers to the east of our viewing area
as well. Current conditions right now on the warm
side, 992 degrees downtown Fort Myers, as well
as Panagora with some passing clouds, partly cloudy skies
for many of us, if not completely clear skies
up and down the coastline muggy meter for uh the
moment where we're taking a live look over the Kusa
Hache dew points down in the low sixties. It's
a live check in at 62 degrees. Keeping us
in the tolerable category. Certifiably you've probably noticed that
that change in humidity and hopefully you're soaking it up
for the meantime, because it's not going to last
long. Current feels like, uh, 92 degrees
on the dot As the humidity is lower, our
, feels like stays much closer to the true air
temperature, which is what we like to see future
track for the remainder of today as we look out
the next hour or so. Uh, this particular
model is doing a pretty good job of picking up
on where the showers and storms are developing right now
and could linger and you look at to about 56
o'clock, likely more spotty showers if not potentially some
storms with a few lightning strikes in them heading towards
dinner time, primarily of the interstate, but a
few of those trying to creep closer to 75 at
times later on tonight. Uh Now, keep in
mind we are 11 days out from the official beginning
of hurricane season and the National Hurricane Center has begun
and typically starts issuing their tropical outlooks around mid May
, uh because of earlier and earlier storm development in
previous years. So, as of right now,
fortunately, we're not expecting any developments in the Atlantic
at this time tomorrow morning, looking at the,
uh some sixties again on the not for inland communities
, low to mid seventies for some spots, but
at least a little bit closer to normal for this
time of year, generally feeling comfortable just to still
a little bit of that slight humidity in the air
. And then by tomorrow afternoon, above average,
consistently with low to mid nineties on the map with
isolated rain chances, here's a look at that future
track where we keep things nice and quiet through the
first half of the day as we approach your commute
home from work, keeping most of those isolated showers
east of the interstate yet again. However, winds
primarily a little bit stronger out of the east and
northeast will try to push those showers closer to 75
as we work our way through about 78 o'clock.
Once we push past sunset, though, we could
see some of these fall over the 75 corridor,
but it is pretty consistent with keeping those isolated showers
to the east of the interstate. So, here's
a look at your seven and 10 day forecast.
We drop off our ranges. It's just a stray
shower heading into Thursday, Friday, which does allow
things to warm up a little bit more. 95
degrees in the forecast for your Thursday afternoon. Looking
ahead to Memorial Day. Just a few storms in
the forecast before we are looking at more consistent isolated
storm chances for the rest of the next work week
. All right. Thank you very much.
