Fort Myers Weather: A Cool, Rainy Sunday at 72, Thunderstorms for Election Day, Then a Clear Late Week
The station's live feed has Sunday stuck in the rain at a high of only 78, a showery Monday near 77, thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday — and then clear skies and the coolest morning of the stretch on Saturday.
Fort Myers is spending its Sunday in the rain. The station's live feed on Sunday afternoon showed 71.8 degrees, feeling like 76.3, with the day's high held to 77.7 and precipitation odds at 76 percent — a cool, grey first day of standard time for Lee and Collier Counties, a dozen degrees below where Saturday's Halloween afternoon sat.
Monday stays unsettled: a high of 76.9, a low of 69.2 and a 51 percent rain chance. Then the pattern warms and turns stormy for the middle of the week. Election Day, Tuesday, carries thunderstorms on the feed (weather code 95), a high of 84.9 and a 56 percent precipitation chance, and Wednesday repeats the thunderstorm signal at 85.6 degrees with a 45 percent chance — voters heading to the polls Tuesday should plan for a wet trip.
The payoff arrives late in the week. Thursday's rain chance falls to 8 percent with a high of 86.8, Friday is clear at 84.3, and Saturday is clear at 82.0 with a low of 66.4 — the coolest morning on the week's feed, and the first fully dry weekend day Fort Myers has been promised in this stretch.
