The day is starting out nice once again with mostly sunny skies
across west central and southwest Florida. It is a little on the
muggy side though with temps already in the mid to upper 70`s with
dew points in the low 70`s. Rain chances remain on the low side
today with only a slight chance of a stray shower or storm,
primarily along the sea breeze during the late afternoon and evening
hours. No changes needed to current forecast.

Issued at 908 AM EDT Thu May 2 2024

High pressure near Bermuda continues to ridge westward over Florida
and into the Gulf of Mexico and will dominate the weather with
mostly rain-free conditions through the week and into the weekend.
Winds will remain 10 knots or less and seas 2 feet or less making
for pleasant boating conditions through the week. A sea breeze is
expected close to the coast each afternoon and evening.
