Happy Sunday, SW Florida!
Due to the recent dry weather, low humidity, and breezy conditions this afternoon, the Fire Danger Index is at a high level for parts of the WINK viewing area.
Otherwise, your Sunday forecast is looking great overall with a mix of sun and clouds, a dry breeze, and highs near 90 degrees. A stray shower can’t be ruled out, but for the most part, everyone should stay rain-free.
Looking ahead to the workweek, Monday starts off dry with a mix of sun & clouds. I do think that there will be better chance for some afternoon storms on Tuesday, but after that, rain chances look to disappear from our forecast the rest of the week and possibly beyond. In fact, the signal for potential near record heat & bone dry weather is growing for the following week.

Happy Saturday, SW Florida!
Due to the recent dry weather, low humidity, and breezy conditions this afternoon, the Fire Danger Index is at a high level for parts of the WINK viewing area today.

Looking ahead to the workweek, its much of the same for Monday, with a stray shower possible on Monday. Tuesday looks dry with a mix of sun and clouds, but that chance for spotty storms does return by Wednesday and continues into next weekend.
