Here is your forecast for Wednesday, May 28th, 2025.
It was another day of dry conditions at the coast with scattered storms near and east of I-75. Those storms have calmed down for the evening, but produced areas of heavy rain and intense lightning. In South Fort Myers for example, 1.52" of rain fell alongside reports of lightning strikes.
Overnight will be partly cloudy, dry and humid with morning lows starting in the 70s. High temperatures will climb in the mid 90s again. Factor in the humidity and it will feel like 100-105°. We are forecasting 94° in Fort Myers, which is above our average of 91° but shy of the record.
Showers and storms will develop after 2pm along and east of I-75. The strongest storms once again are expected between 5-7PM in Hendry and Glades counties.
For Friday, it will be breezy at times with gusts to 20 mph. It will actually be more humid. The best chance for a passing shower on Friday will be inland, closer to Lake Okeechobee.
ACTIVE WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Looking ahead to the weekend, the highest chance for rain will be arriving on Saturday as a cold front approaches the area. Both morning and afternoon storms are expected for both coastal and inland communities. Saturday is also looking breezy with gusts to 25 mph. Sunday isn't looking as wet but we'll still have scattered rain both inland and at the coast with chances at 40%. High temperatures on Saturday will be in the 80s, while we push toward 90° on Sunday.
