Another sunny, dry outlook Thursday for southwest Florida
Rain chances will be hard to come by over the next week for the Gulf Coast.
SINCE 2023. AGAIN, WHAT NOT WHILE DOING HERE. SUBWAY SURFING GOODNESS. MY HEART KIND OF DROPPED. JUST SEEING THAT. A LITTLE. YES CARE. AND THEN YOU SHAKE YOUR HEAD NOW. YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT. WE’VE GOT SUCH A NICE DAY ON TAP A >> AND YEAH, HEADING INTO, YOU KNOW, LOOKING THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORKWEEK THIS WEEKEND AS WELL. I MEAN, WE’VE JUST BEEN DEALING WITH SUNSHINE ON, REPEAT, AND IT’S ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL START OUT THERE. LIVE RADAR, SWEEPING, CLEAR TEMPERATURES ARE REALLY PLEASANT AT THIS POINT. EXPECT HIM TO BE COOL. EVEN A FEW MORE DEGREES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. 70 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN CAPE CORAL. OF COURSE, STILL HOURS TO GO UNTIL OFFICIAL SUNRISE, BUT HEADING TOWARD THE UPPER 80’S AGAIN TODAY. IT IS BACK TO THE SUNSHINE. SO NO NEED FOR THE UMBRELLA. AS YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR THIS MORNING, LOOKING AT PRETTY COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY LEVELS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, JUST A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON WITH NO RAIN TO TRACK FOR YOU. SO STILL VERY STABLE CONDITIONS ON THIS THURSDAY HEADING INTO TONIGHT. IF YOU HAVE ANYWHERE TO BE ANOTHER DRY EVENING, IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY, REALLY PLEASANT AND IF YOU’VE BEEN ENJOYING THESE MORNINGS AND EVENINGS, YOU STILL CAN FOR A FEW MORE DAYS. WE’RE LOOKING AT THE 60’S STILL THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE WEEK. STARTING OUT. ALRIGHT, CHECKING THE TROPICS WITH THE FINAL 6 WEEKS OF HURRICANE SEASON AND A WIDE VIEW OF THE ATLANTIC BASIN. CONDITIONS ARE STILL QUIET FOR NOW. NO DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS. HOWEVER, AND AREA AND STAYING TOP OF IS GOING TO BE THE CARIBBEAN NEAR THE END OF THE MONTH. WATCH THESE CLUSTERS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS PUSHING JUST SELF OF PLACES LIKE HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. SO WE’RE TALKING STILL OVER 10 DAYS OUT, WATCHING FOR SOME POSSIBLE TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT. NOW FAR TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE IF ANYTHING WILL FORM, LET ALONE WHERE IT COULD GO. BUT WE’LL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED. VERY COMMON SPOT FOR DEVELOPMENT IF WE DO SEE ANYTHING FOREMAN TYPICALLY THROUGHOUT OCTOBER, IT IS HOT SPOTS LIKE THE CARIBBEAN AND DOWN TOWARDS CENTRAL AMERICA WHERE WE ARE MOST FAVORED TO SEE ANY SORT OF TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT. MELISSA WOULD BE THE NEXT NAME ON THE LIST. IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING ABOUT LORENZO, THAT DISSIPATED YESTERDAY OVER THE OPEN ATLANTIC. SO VERY QUIET FOR NOW, BUT WILL BE WATCHING FOR YOU AT THIS POINT IN HURRICANE SEASON. YOU KNOW, WE’RE CLOSING IN ON THAT FINAL STRETCH, BUT YOU CAN’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN NOTHING THAT POSES ANY THREAT TO FLORIDA ANYTIME SOON. SO LOOKING AT ONE OF THE NICEST OUTLOOKS WE HAVE HAD ALL YEAR MID TO UPPER 80’S EVERY SINGLE DAY. LOOK AT HOW UNIFORM THE SAYS PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. EVERY SINGLE AFTERNOON AND IS NOT GOING TO NEED THAT UMBRELLA ANYTIME SOON. WITH MORNINGS IN THE UPPER 60’S TO LOW 70’S, SHOW YOU YOUR NEXT OP

It’s another pleasant, dry morning across the Gulf Coast with temperatures starting out in the upper 60s. No need for the umbrella today as conditions will stay dry and sunny. Highs will reach the seasonal upper 80s with evening lows in the 60s again. Heading into the weekend, the dry weather dominates the forecast with plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 80s. Our next cold front won’t work through until the end of the next week so don’t expect significant relief from the heat or humidity in the short range. For the Gulf Coast, our first evening in the 50s isn’t usually until closer to Halloween.In the tropics, Lorenzo has dissipated over the Atlantic and there is no development expected over the next seven days. The Gulf Coast Storm Team is closely watching the Caribbean for potential development near the end of the month. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.
