🥵 Southwest Florida Heat 🥵

No records today...but all 3 of our larger cities felt the hottest temps of the year so far.

This is due to the amount of dry air across #SWFL today. Dry air warms & cools faster than moist air.

Record or no record... it was toasty.

Happy Friday #SWFL !

Looking to our weekend, I'm expecting warm, breezy and mainly dry conditions.

It's looking great to get outside and enjoy, however, let's play it safe. Anything that ignites will have the potential to quickly spread with our gusty conditions.

Nothing to worry about… but a sign of the possible active season ahead.

Goodness-galore!!

Check out all that dry air heading our way! In late April, this is a treat for southwest Florida.

Long story short... get out and enjoy this week. Conditions will feel comfortable, but it won't last long... our summer-time sizzle is right around the corner.

Have weekend plans?

No weather worries!

Enjoy.

No record heat... but close enough

I'm forecasting temps in the upper 80s and low 90s into our upcoming weekend. Not expecting records, but inching closer and closer Friday & Saturday...

Good time to make sure your AC unit is functioning at 100%.

Fun times ahead lol

🥵Warming Up This Week🥵

Get ready #SWFL ... the heat is coming!

We've got our first stretch of upper 80s and low 90s this week as high pressure moves across the area. Dew points will remain in the 50s and 60s, so it'll be a 'dry' heat...

But 90° is still 90° lol
