Southwest Florida's isolated rain chances return Thursday

Highs will be in the 90s with increasing cloud cover into the evening.

Isolated rain chances return for our interior and southernmost counties.

Expect weak showers to begin popping up around lunchtime and into the evening.

Most of us will remain dry Thursday. More substantial rain chances return on Friday.

We are keeping tabs on two named storms in the Atlantic. Sam is still forecast to stay roughly 1,000 miles away from Florida as it passes the state this weekend. Meanwhile, Victor should remain in the Mid-Atlantic for its entire lifespan.
