Trending drier Friday, more rain possible this weekend

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:02]LAKE COUNTY STUDENTS WILL BE ON MONDAY AND THERE ARE MANY WAYS TELL THAT SUMMER IS CLOSELY APPROACHING. AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER, TOO.

[00:00:10]WE COULD TELL IT FEELS LIKE SUMMER. I WAS JUST WONDERING WHEN OUR SUMMER BREAK IS DOUBT FOR FOR TODAY, JACK, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE THE ANSWER HE'LL TELL YOU THEN YOU HAVE AT LEAST IT'S FRIDAY, AT LEAST THE WEEKEND FOR US ADULTS WHO, YOU KNOW, STILL HAVE TO AND, YOU KNOW, >> HAVE A LIFE LIKE THAT. BUT IT IS FEELING LIKE SUMMER SO THAT THAT WAS CORRECT IN SAYING SO FEEL LIKE SUMMER WITH THOSE RAIN CHANCES. I WILL SAY, THOUGH, YESTERDAY WAS A LITTLE BIT UP NORMAL JUST BECAUSE WE HAD SOME OF THAT MORNING RAIN FLOWING IN FROM THE COLD.

[00:00:39]>> DROPPING HEALTHY AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL ACROSS THE GULF COAST. REMEMBER, THE DROUGHT MONITOR WAS UPDATED ON THURSDAY MORNING AND IT SHOWED IMPROVING CONDITIONS. SO IT'S EVEN BETTER TO CONTINUE TO SEE COVERAGE LIKE THIS OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS, EVEN HAD A LITTLE BIT OF LATE RAIN LAST NIGHT TO AROUND 9 O'CLOCK.

[00:00:54]FORT SOME RAIN ONCE AGAIN.

[00:00:56]HERE'S SOME OF THE HOT SPOTS INLAND. HENDRY COUNTY HAD A FEW PLACES. NORTHERN COLLIER, TOO, JUST WEST OF IMMOKALEE, 3 AND A HALF INCHES OF RADAR.

[00:01:04]ESTIMATED RAINFALL OUT BY OUR STUBBLE. YOU CLOSE TO AN INCH OF ESTIMATED RAINFALL QUARTER OF AN INCH NEAR CAPE CORAL.

[00:01:10]THAT COCHRAN 3 QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAIN IN JUST 24 HOURS.

[00:01:14]NOW I'M A SHOWING YESTERDAY WE GOT TO READY FOR YOUR FRIDAY.

[00:01:16]WILL I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT WILL RELATE BECAUSE I THINK TODAY ACTUALLY KNOW TODAY'S GOING TO BE A WHOLE LOT DRIER ACROSS THE GULF COAST, EVEN THOUGH WE WILL STILL SEE SOME RAIN. I DON'T YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE COMPLETELY DRY FRIDAY. IT'S JUST OUR COVERAGE. IT'S LOOKING TO BE A WHOLE LOT LESS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, FAVORING OR INLAND LOCATIONS OR UP NORTH TOWARDS NORTHERN CHARLOTTE COUNTY, PORT CHARLOTTE, MAYBE GORDA, GETTING A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN AS WELL. THIS FRIDAY, RAIN CHANCES START OFF IN THE LATE MORNING. I DON'T REALLY THINK WE'LL SEE MUCH UNTIL THE AFTERNOON AND EVEN THEN RAIN CHANCES PEAK AT ONLY 40% FOR YOUR FRIDAY. THAT'S NOT A HIGH RAIN CHANCE. IT'S HONESTLY A TYPICAL RAINY SEASON SET UP FOR US IN TERMS OF COVERAGE.

[00:01:54]AND HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE GOING TO FAVOR THE IN LOCATIONS FOR TODAY. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BY ABOUT 1 O'CLOCK. SO LITTLE BIT OF RAIN OUT TOWARDS CHARLOTTE HARBOR.

[00:02:02]LOOK, GORDA, STILL SEEING SOME OF THAT RAIN THERE BY 2.30 AND THEN WE SEE THAT COVERAGE SHIFT NOW TO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE RAIN THAN WHAT THIS IS SHOWING. I DO. I THINK IF YOU LIVE ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR, YOU SHOULD SEE SOME OF THAT COVERAGE BILL DONE IN THE AFTERNOON. MAYBE LINGER TOWARDS THE EVENING TIME FRAME. BUT THE CONSENSUS IS OUR INLAND LOCATIONS IN OUT BY SPECIFICALLY SHOULD SEE THE HIGHEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR YOUR FRIDAY. THAT'S BY 08:30PM, TONIGHT. IF YOU HAVE ANY COASTAL PLANS FRIDAY NIGHT, MAYBE IT'S A GOOD NIGHT HEAD OUT THERE. GET A RESERVATION, LAST-MINUTE ANYTHING LIKE THAT BECAUSE I THINK THAT RAIN SHOULD PAY FOR THE INLAND SPOTS SATURDAY.

[00:02:35]REMEMBER TOMORROW WE COULD SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN EARLIER ON IN THE MORNING. THANKS TO SOME ONSHORE FLOW. COULD PUT AN IMPACT YOUR SATURDAY MORNING START SUNDAY. SAME THING. BUT AS A WHOLE SUNDAY LOOKS EVEN DRIER THAN THE LAST FEW DAYS.

[00:02:46]30 1% COVERAGE THAT WE HOLD ON TO THROUGH THE BEGINNING, PART OF THE WORKWEEK AS WELL. BUT THOSE RAIN CHANCES BACK UP BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, I WILL SAY AT THE SAME TIME OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW 90'S FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THAT'S AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHICH IS PRETTY NICE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE FOR YOUR FRIDAY. HERE'S WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN COLLIER COUNTY ALONG THE COAST, NAPLES, MARCO, 88 FOR THEIR HIGH TEMPERATURES, 90 FOR THE CAPE AND GORDA.

[00:03:11]THAT ONE FOR FORT MYERS OFFICIAL HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR YOUR FRIDAY. ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH THE TEMPERATURES AS THOSE RAIN CHANCES EACH HOUR BY 3 O'CLOCK, WE BUMP IT UP TO 40% COVERAGE AND WE DO HOLD ON TO THAT AT LEAST FOR A FEW HOURS WHILE WE HAVE THAT COVERAGE FAVORING OUR INLAND LOCATIONS.

[00:03:28]THAT'S A LOOK AT YOUR GULF COAST WEATHER. MOST ACCURATE FORECAST.
