Storm chances greater Friday, Saturday than on Sunday, Monday

Published: Updated:

FORT MYERS, Fla. Rain chances will be higher Friday and Saturday than they will be on Sunday and Monday as Labor Day Weekend begins.

Showers and storms will work their way from inland communities westward to the coast Friday afternoon, WINK meteorologist Zach Maloch said. Those will linger into the evening.

The best chance for rain Saturday will be back in the afternoon, evening and even in the overnight hours,” Maloch said.

Storms will be only isolated the rest of the weekend.

High temperatures are expected to reach the 90s each day, with a high of 93 ahead for Friday, Maloch said. Labor Day is shaping up as the hottest of the week, with a high of 94.

Hurricane Irma is a Category 3 storm in the Atlantic Ocean, but it remains thousands of miles away from Southwest Florida and it’s unclear if the storm’s path will bring it anywhere close.
