Fort Myers Sunday Midday Weather: Rain and a High of Only 78, Before a Cooler Monday and Election Day Thunderstorms
Sunday's forecast cooled sharply by midday — 74.9 degrees with rain showers and a high of just 78 — ahead of a 74-degree Monday and thunderstorms timed for Tuesday's vote.
Sunday is not following this morning's script in Fort Myers. The station's live feed at midday put the temperature at 74.9 degrees, feeling like 76.8, under rain showers — and the day's high is now expected to reach only 78 degrees, nearly five degrees cooler than the 82.9 in the morning outlook, with a 57 percent chance of rain through the day.
The cooler pattern holds into Monday, which tops out at 74.4 degrees with a 41 percent chance of rain and an overnight low of 69.4. Voters heading out on Tuesday should plan around the wettest day of the stretch: Election Day brings thunderstorms, a high back up at 86.6 degrees and a 64 percent chance of rain, so a morning vote or an umbrella in the car is the practical play.
The rain eases after Tuesday. Wednesday stays warm at 85.8 degrees with a 38 percent chance of showers, Thursday dries out at 85.8 with rain chances down to 11 percent, and Friday turns clear and sunny at 84.2 degrees — the pick of the week for anything planned outdoors.
