Overnight lows will settle to the upper 70s.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"1\">Saharan dust will begin to move across southern sections of the state late Saturday night and Sunday morning. This could help to reduce rain coverage Sunday afternoon; however, enough moisture will be in place to spark isolated showers Sunday evening. At times, the sky may appear to be hazy, dusty, and have an orange glow. Dust in the air will make for vibrant sunsets.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">Dust will stick around on Monday, keeping rain chances modest. Beyond the start of the week, moisture will once again increase, thus expanding rain coverage. Highs will remain above average. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">Tropics:  An area of low pressure is expected to form over the southwest Atlantic next week. Slow development is possible as it moves westward. This could increase rain chances over Florida mid-week. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">However you watch or scroll, we&#8217;re committed to delivering your Gulf Coast Weather Most Accurate Forecast, one you can rely on every day, wherever you are.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">Live Interactive Radar: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulfcoastnewsnow.com\/app\/live-radar\/69976595\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Track conditions in real time with the Gulf Coast Live Radar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">Watch Gulf Coast Weather: Find the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulfcoastnewsnow.com\/weather\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">weather forecast videos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gulfcoastnewsnow.com\/app\/nowcast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">streaming live or on demand<\/a>, on TV and online.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">Stream on the Go: Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/qrco.de\/gcnapp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">free Gulf Coast News app<\/a> to watch on your phone or tablet.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">Your Gulf Coast Weather Team<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"11\">Follow on Social: Follow, like and subscribe to Gulf Coast News on social media to share your tips and be part of the conversation with Southwest Florida&#8217;s most experienced, trusted weather team: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GulfCoastNewsNow\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gulfcoastnewsnow\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@GulfCoastNewsNow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@gulfcoastnewsnow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@gulfcoastnewsnow\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/gulfcoastnewsnow.bsky.social\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/gulf-coast-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/gcnnow?lang=en\" rel=\"nofollow\">X<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"12\">DOWNLOAD the free <a href=\"https:\/\/qrco.de\/gcnapp\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gulf Coast News app<\/a> for your latest breaking news and weather alerts.
