This morning we have an area of clouds passing overhead; that will be followed by an overall increase to the clouds throughout the afternoon. Showers & thunderstorms will be setting up along the east coast of Florida early this afternoon before east winds drive that rain towards our Inland counties. By the mid-afternoon we will see a line of showers & thunderstorms moving into the Inland counties of SWFL that will be capable of producing heavy downpours. That rain is expected to hold together long enough to reach the Coastal Corridor; however, this is a little uncertainly as to its strength as it crosses I-75. It does look like we will have more isolated rain fall over the Coastal Corridor. Our temperatures are headed towards the 90 degree mark while our dew point hover in the upper 60s and low 70s. It does look like Tuesday will be a near repeat of today, but as we get into the later half of the week, our rain chances for the Coastal Corridor start to drop off. There will still be a good chance for rain across our Inland counties; showers & thunderstorms remain in the forecast for the rest of the week and as we approach the weekend the rain chance start to climb for the Coastal Corridor.
