Warm, windy, dry weather for Southwest Florida

Reporter: Nash Rhodes
Published: Updated:

High temperatures will return to the upper 80s under mostly sunny skies. Wind speeds will be breezy at times, gusting at up to 25 miles per hour.

Our above-average heat will be short-lived, with highs returning to the 70s by Friday.

Dry weather and gusty winds will make for ideal wildfire conditions. Lee County is now under a “Very High” fire index with all other Southwest Florida counties remaining under a “Moderate” fire index.

Rain chances will be slim until Thursday.

Our strong winds will make for moderate chop and fairly high wave-heights on the gulf waters Monday.
