Here is your forecast for Sunday, January 19th, 2025.
It will stay windy with gusts to 25 mph out of the southwest.
Showers and storms producing brief, intense rain and lightning have begun in Sarasota county and are headed southward. Showers and storms will impact SWFL mainly through 7pm, when they clear out of Collier county.
Brief heavy rain, gusty wind and lightning will remain our primary threats, but an isolated strong storm, primarily in Charlotte, DeSoto or Sarasota counties cannot be ruled out.
AFTERNOON STORMS ON THE WAY: A severe thunderstorm watch is unlikely as we head into the afternoon. That said, an isolated strong storm cannot be ruled out in Charlotte, DeSoto and Sarasota counties this afternoon (after 1pm), as a line of showers and storms moves through SWFL. pic.twitter.com/OMuV5bbQFg

As soon as the front moves through your neighborhood this afternoon, you'll feel the winds shift and become northerly, driving in much cooler air overnight, as we wake up to lows in the 40s and low 50s. High temperatures on Monday are only expected in the upper 50s and low 60s!
DON'T PUT THE UMBRELLAS AWAY! We will see showers return on Tuesday and Wednesday with a 70% chance of rain with highs staying in the 60s.
