May 15: Rainy season officially begins, but today will be dry

Good Friday morning. Drier air continues to move into the region which has lowered the dew points and temperatures this morning. Once the sun rises, temperatures will warm up but it won’t be nearly as humid as the previous few days. Enjoy this fabulous Friday. The rainy season begins today until October 15th so there is an increase in rain chances beginning this weekend, especially Sunday. Easterly surface flow through next week will result in the greatest shower & thunderstorm coverage across SW Florida each afternoon and evening with overnight & morning showers & storms possible along the east coast of South Florida. Have a great weekend. Keep it tuned to Local 10.
