Here is your forecast for Wednesday, June 25th, 2025.

Isolated thunderstorms this evening will taper by 10pm. Overnight, clouds clear, bringing lots of sunshine for the first half of Thursday.

An upper level disturbance will enhance thunderstorms the next couple days, bringing widespread rain and the threat for strong storms.

Thursday afternoon, stay weather aware. We will be tracking the risk for a few strong storms. The Storm Prediction Center has placed SWFL in a "marginal" risk for severe weather, meaning a level 1 out of 5 risk, with gusty damaging wind remaining our primary threat. Friday will be similar.

When you hear thunder, head indoors immediately. Florida has been a dangerous lightning strike hotspot over the past week with a dozen people struck in at least five incidents!

Uptick in lightning strikes?

Our rain chances will start to climb even more this weekend with a 70-80% chance of showers and storms thanks to increasing moisture, the upper level low moving through and a weaker steering flow.
