Here is your forecast for Wednesday, July 9th, 2025.
Scattered showers and storms this evening are producing areas of heavy rain and lightning. I'm expecting these storms to be out of SWFL after midnight, slowly moving from the east toward the west, heading offshore. Pea-size hail and gusts to 40 mph cannot be ruled out in stronger cells.
Once the storms clear out, overnight will be partly cloudy and muggy with lows starting in the mid to upper 70s. Before storms initialize, high temperatures will climb into the mid-90s, feeling more like 100-105° because of the humidity.
As more moisture builds in the area the rain chances continue to climb this week as a mid-level disturbance moves over the state.
After Noon, stay weather aware. Scattered storms will be firing up with heavy rain and lightning as our primary threats. Our chance of rain climbs to 60% and will increase to 80% on Friday afternoon.
Looking ahead to the upcoming weekend, the rain chances will stay high around 60-70% both afternoons with highs in the low 90s.
