Your FOX 4 Storm Patrol Detailed Forecast

Heat and humidity continue to dominate the afternoons across Southwest Florida.  For the remainder of the work week, fairly dry air remains in place in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere preventing widespread afternoon shower and thunderstorm activity.  Our showers will pop up along the coast in the mornings but then in the inland areas in the afternoons.  Some of the inland showers may build back toward the coast.  Overall, rain chances remain at about 30%.  Temperatures will climb near 90 each afternoon under partly cloudy skies.  High humidity keeps our feels like temperature in the triple digits.  As we head into the weekend, the chance for showers along the coastal counties in the afternoon increases.

Tropics-

Tropical Depression 2 is located about 190 miles south-southeast of Campeche, Mexico with sustained winds of 30 mph. This system is moving to the west-northwest at 7 mph and expected to continue in that direction for the next 24-48 hours.  The center of the depression will be moving over the southern Bay of Campeche tomorrow and Thursday.  The system is forecast to drop 3-5 inches of widespread rain with possible accumulations of 10 inches in some areas.  This system is not a threat to the United States.
