Ajouté : 2026-06-02

[00:00:01]THANKFULLY, EVERYONE WAS OKAY.

[00:00:05]>> AND MORE THAN A LOT OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE WEEKEND WHICH WERE GETTING INTO THAT PATTERN IT COMES NOW YOU HAVE YOU BASICALLY SAID, YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT WET PATTERN THAT WAS OVER THE SOUTH CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD THE EAST AND THAT'S GOING TO INCREASE OUR RAIN COVERAGE HERE ACROSS THE AREA. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING OVER THE LAST 7 DAYS. WE'RE CERTAINLY GETTING INTO THAT RAINY PATTERN AND WE'VE GOT SOME BENEFICIAL RAIN HERE ACROSS THE GULF COAST NOTICING SOME OF THE HIGHER AMOUNTS OF RAIN IN PLACES LIKE CARTER COUNTY. SO LET'S GO INTO THE LOOK AT JUST SOME OF THE ESTIMATE TOTALS HERE ACROSS THE AREA. AND WE COULD PLACES IN COLLIER COUNTY. I WOULD SAY MORE THAN 4 INCHES IN. OF COURSE, THERE ARE SOME SECTIONS AND SOME LOCALIZED AREAS THAT MAY EVEN SEE HIGHER AMOUNTS, EVEN SEEING AMOUNTS JUST EAST OF ESTERO OVER 6 AND A HALF INCHES WORTH OF RAIN IN PLACES LIKE IN CAPE CORAL, EVEN 4 AND A HALF INCHES OF RAIN AND A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER IN PLACES LIKE CHARLOTTE COUNTY. SO WE'RE CERTAINLY GETTING THE RAIN AND WE'RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN TODAY. HOWEVER, THE RAIN IS GOING TO ONLY FAVOR CERTAIN SECTIONS OF THE GULF COAST.

[00:01:02]AND THE FOCAL POINT OF THAT RAIN IS GOING TO BE IN PLACES LIKE DESOTO AND CHARLOTTE COUNTY, PLEASE FOR THE SOUTH, A LITTLE BIT MORE DRIER FOR TODAY. SO AS WE LOOK TOWARD THAT 7 DAY FORECAST, WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE INCREASING RAIN COVERAGE AS WE GET THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. 30% CHANCE FOR TODAY. 40% CHANCE FOR WEDNESDAY. BUT LOOK AT THIS AS WE GET TO OUR THURSDAY, 70% CHANCE OF RAIN.

[00:01:22]AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE HIGH RAIN CHANCES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, ESPECIALLY AS WE GET TOWARD THE 2ND HALF OF THE WORKWEEK. THAT HELP TO COOL OUR TEMPERATURES OFF JUST A BIT. HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY OF 93 YOU COMPARE THAT TO THURSDAY. 89 DEGREES. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE AVERAGE. AND THAT'S JUST ALL DUE TO INCREASING CLOUDS ACROSS THE AREA. SOME RAIN TO HELP COPE. COOL THINGS OFF.

[00:01:42]WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE RAINY PATTERN SET UP HERE ACROSS THE AREA. TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE'RE TRACKING RIGHT NOW. NOT MUCH ON OUR GULF COAST, LIVE RADAR, MOSTLY DRY CONDITION ONLY JUST BEEN TRACKING JUST MAYBE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS AND SOME OF OUR INTERIOR SECTIONS HERE ACROSS THE GULF COAST. AND AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE EVENING, WILL BASICALLY SEE WHAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GETTING NOW AS WE GET LATER ON THROUGHOUT THE EVENING, PLACES IN DESOTO OUT A SHARK OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE FAVORED WHEN IT COMES TO A LITTLE BIT MORE RAIN COVERAGE.

[00:02:09]MAYBE OUR KATIE CAN GET INTO SOME BENEFICIAL RAIN THERE.

[00:02:11]PLACES IN NORTHERN LEE COUNTY MAY ALSO GET INTO RAIN BUT IF YOU'RE SOUTH OF THE CALOOSAHATCHEE MORE THAN LIKELY, GOING TO SEE MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR TUESDAY.

[00:02:21]HIGHER RAIN TOTALS FAVORING PLACES LIKE DESOTO. LOOK AT THIS. CARTER COUNTY, NOT MUCH RAIN FOR TODAY. SO WE DO SEE THE RAIN THAT'S GOING TO COME IN THE EVENING AND AFTERNOON HOURS. AND ONCE WE GET BEYOND OUR SUNSET WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO DRY THINGS OUT. CURRENT CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT FORT MYERS BEACH, WARM LOOK AT THAT. 89 TEMPERATURE, 80, TEMPERATURE OF 89 DEGREES. AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES INCREASING MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS RIGHT NOW, NOTICING A NICE LITTLE BREEZE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP. SO FOR TODAY, A HIGH OF 92 DEGREES.

[00:02:48]IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE VERY HOT AND HUMID HERE ACROSS THE AREA. AND AS WE GET LATER ON IN THE EVENING, WILL SEE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS BEGINNING TO POP UP IN SOME OF THOSE NORTHERN COUNTIES IS GOING TO BE PROBABLY THE LAST DAY WHERE WE SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES REALLY, REALLY HIGH. LOOK AT THIS HIGH TEMPERATURES IN ALL LOCATIONS HERE ACROSS THE GULF COAST.

[00:03:07]90'S AVERAGE HIGH TIME OF YEAR, 90 DEGREES. SO WE ARE GOING A FEW DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE BEFORE TONIGHT. ONCE WE GET LATER ON INTO THE EVENING, ONCE THAT SUN BEGINS TO SET, WE'LL SLOWLY BEEN TO BEGIN TO COOL THINGS OFF, FORECASTING A LOW TEMPERATURE OF 75 DEGREES AT KICKOFF WHETHER MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. WE ARE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM THE 2026 ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON. FORECASTS ARE OUT. THE GULF COAST WEATHER TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TO HELP YOU STAY AHEAD OF THE STORM.
