We saw temperatures warm into the mid- to upper 80s on Saturday. Fort Myers reached 87\u00b0, six degrees above normal.<\/p>\n
TONIGHT<\/p>\n
Inland storm chances will wrap up after sunset, with partly cloudy skies overnight. It will be a muggy night as well. That higher humidity will lead to patchy areas of fog as we wake up on Sunday morning. Lows overnight will cool into the upper 60s.<\/p>\n
TOMORROW<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ahead of a strong cold front arriving on Monday, many of us have the potential to get in on some much-needed rainfall! Because of an unstable atmosphere with plenty of moisture available, the Storm Prediction Center has issued the Florida peninsula level 1 out of 5 risk of seeing severe weather.<\/p>\n
The largest threats would be gusty winds and small hail. Timing is primarily Sunday afternoon. Highs tomorrow will remain steady in the mid-80s.<\/p>\n
LOOKING AHEAD<\/p>\n
Monday, temperatures will stay above-average ahead of a strong front makes its way through during the late afternoon and evening. That front will keep rain chances elevated on Monday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This brings big changes to our temperatures on Tuesday. Highs on St. Patrick’s Day are only in the upper 60s, with lows Wednesday morning in the 50s and 40s for many. Rain chances stay in the 10-20% range throughout the rest of the week.<\/p>\n
BEACH\/BOATING<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you are headed out on the boat or to the beach tomorrow, the morning should be pretty nice with winds out of the southeast around 5 knots, but will increase out of the south 10 to 15 knots, gusting to 20 knots in the afternoon.<\/p>\n
The Gulf wave heights are reaching 1 to 2 feet with our bays and inland waters moderate chop. The Gulf water temperature is reaching 81 degrees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We saw temperatures warm into the mid- to upper 80s on Saturday.
