Here is your forecast for Thursday, March 6th, 2025.

Strong, gusty winds and low humidity led to a high fire danger today across SWFL. We continue to monitor a 12-acre brush fire in Port Charlotte, now 90% contained.

Drought conditions have worsened across SWFL in the last week. This morning, USGS updated their drought monitor, now showing all of SWFL under moderate or severe drought.

Get ready to bundle up! Clear skies and dry air will lead to widespread 40s across SWFL Friday morning. With a wind shift, tomorrow afternoon temperatures will rebound nicely, reaching the upper 70s with mostly sunny skies.

This weekend we will be in the low to mid 80s both Saturday and Sunday. Sunday will be windier ahead of a cold front moving in on Monday. Monday will also present our next chance for widespread rain across SWFL.
