Here is your forecast for Thursday, May 22nd, 2025.

Temperatures will be heating up as we step closer to the weekend. The biggest difference between last weekend's forecast and what to expect for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend is a higher chance for rain. This is great news for our ongoing drought, but some outdoor plans could be impacted.

For your Friday, we'll start off dry and humid with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. With winds picking up out of the northwest around 10 mph, the best chance for scattered showers and storms will be inland, especially in Glades, Hendry and inland Collier counties. An isolated strong cell capable of strong wind gusts and/or hail cannot be ruled out.

Saturday is expected to be similar with dry conditions at our local beaches and west of I-75. All of us will enjoy ample sunshine and HOT temperatures. Temperatures Saturday will be up to 95° and feeling more like 100-105° across SWFL. Afternoon shower and storm development is most likely inland with westerly winds.

With southerly winds arriving Sunday and continuing through midweek, more of us will have the chance for daily afternoon rain. We have a 40% chance for showers and storms each afternoon into next week. This could impact some Memorial Day weekend plans, so please stay weather aware.
