We are going to start our day under mostly sunny skies, but there will be some isolated rain over the Gulf of Mexico that is likely to hug the coast of Collier and Lee county this morning. The winds will be shifting throughout the moring and early afternoon; that wind shift may set off a few isolated showers before our typical afternoon rain fires up. Heading into the early afternoon, showers & thunderstorms will strengthen along the east coast of Florida. The heaviest rainfall along the east coast will drift into the Atlantic, but there will be a line of isolated rain that does roll across the peninsula heading for SWFL. The majority of rainfall is forecast to fall near I-75 and areas further inland; there will be a chance of isolated rain across the Coastal Corridor. Daytime highs are headed for the upper 80s and lower 90s while our dew points remain in the middle and upper 60s. Overnight our temperatures will drop to near 70 degrees while our skies become mostly clear. For Thursday and Friday we will see our chance of rain start to drop while remaining inland; by Saturday we will be dry across SWFL as our dew points drop towards the lower half of the 60s making for more comfortable conditions. The afternoon breeze will kick up for the rest of this week, the upcoming weekend and next week while remaining dry in SWFL.
