and last updated

After another record-breaking morning in Punta Gorda, and cold elsewhere, temperatures climbed into the mid-70s this afternoon, 15° compared to yesterday afternoon!

We'll continue to feel the warmer weather in the days ahead. Tomorrow, we'll wake up to lows in the upper 40s north and 50s elsewhere. Light winds out of the northeast and ample sunshine will warm us into the upper 70s.

By Friday, we should reach 80° with mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will continue to warm above-average next week into the mid-80s.

No chance of rain shows up in the 7-Day Forecast. This will worsen our drought conditions and fire risk.
