Here is your forecast for Tuesday, April 29th, 2025.
Finally, rain! Showers and storms were scattered this afternoon and will clear out of our coastal communities and move into the Gulf by 8pm. Here's a look at some totals from across SWFL as of 6pm.
After a three week dry stretch, we finally saw some much-needed, scattered rain today. "Scattered" is the key word; here at the Fox 4 studios, we only received 0.03" but other spots received more. Here's a look at some of those totals so far today. pic.twitter.com/Qdp22PHe6q

We need the rainfall, as we are over 5" behind in all three of our climate sites with Punta Gorda having the highest deficit at 5.50".
High temperatures today stayed in the upper 80s, courtesy of more clouds and rain around. Tomorrow without the rain, it will be hotter around 90°.
Overnight, clouds will clear out and we can expect mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies throughout your Wednesday. Winds will stay easterly with a seabreeze developing for our coastal communities later in the afternoon.
We'll stay dry through Saturday. Sunday and Monday, a cold front will increase the chance for afternoon showers and storms. Right now, that rain chance is between 30-40%.
