SOUTHWEST FLORIDA (WINK) — WINK News Weather Authority meteorologists are watching WINK Doppler 3X closely this Tuesday as more storms develop throughout the afternoon and evening.
Tuesday's scattered storms were hit-or-miss, but another round is on the way through the rest of the week.
Wednesday
Wednesday morning will feature a partly cloudy sky, with low temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. A mix of sun and clouds, along with minimal rain chances, will carry us through the midday hours before afternoon temperatures climb into the lower to mid-90s. Heat index values could reach upwards of 105 degrees.

Scattered storms, with 60% rain coverage, are expected Wednesday afternoon and evening. Some of those storms may drift toward the coast before moving offshore between 6 and 8 p.m.
Rain coverage remains at 60% through Friday, with scattered afternoon and evening storms each day. Rainfall totals over the next five days will likely range from 2 to 4 inches, with locally higher amounts possible.
Tropical Weather Outlook:
Offshore of the Southeastern U.S. Coast: Shower and thunderstorm activity remains limited and disorganized in association with an area of low pressure along a frontal boundary located off the southeastern U.S. coast. Environmental conditions appear only marginally favorable for some tropical development over the next day or two as the system drifts southward and then westward before conditions become even less favorable later this week.
The Weather Authority is tracking scattered storms that could impact holiday weekend plans. You can find the latest updates on TV on WINK News.
