Regular rains have stopped, on average, on Oct. 15 between 2002 and 2019, according to National Weather Service records.

Rain chances will be 50% Friday, but cooler, drier air will move into the region on Saturday, Sunday and into Monday, according to forecasts.

A weak cold front will move into Southwest Florida late Thursday into Friday morning. Highs climb into the upper 80s to around 90. As of 5 a.m., Tropical Storm Lorenzo continues to move towards the NW at 15 mph with 60 mph winds.

The 50s should come on Oct. 28, which is the average date on which Fort Myers has posted 59 degrees or lower since 1902, according to NWS records.

The bottom line is if the 2025 season only had one last shot to threaten land, would it seize it, or just let it slip by?

Today, we've experienced an easterly/northeasterly wind, but as we head into Sunday, winds will start off coming in from the southeast and will become more southerly as the day progresses. The southerly component to the wind will pick up moist and warm air off the Atlantic and send it into Southwest Florida.
