The Weather Authority is tracking strong storms that may impact you this Thursday afternoon.
The Level 1 risk that covered portions of Southwest Florida was removed by noon.
Sarasota and Charlotte County however are both still under a level 1 risk for strong storms in the evening.
Thursday
The Weather Authority is tracking an area of low pressure moving over the state this Thursday.
As that low track moves farther to the west, we will see more rain and storms across Southwest Florida.
Strong storms will be possible throughout the afternoon, with gusty winds and small hail as the main impacts.
Highs will climb into the lower 90s before those storms develop.
Friday
The Weather Authority is tracking another day when strong to severe storms will be possible.
All of Southwest Florida will again be under a Level 1 risk for severe weather. Isolated to scattered rain and storms will be moving onshore throughout the morning and that activity looks to move inland throughout the afternoon.
Highs top out in the upper 80s to lower 90s.
Saturday
A plume of Saharan dust is moving in and will lead to an overcast appearance to the sky throughout the day on Saturday.
This Saharan dust is bringing drier air to Southwest Florida.
This dry air high above the ground can enhance some scattered storms we see Saturday afternoon and evening.
Gusty winds and lightning will be the main threats. Highs top out in the lower to mid-90s.
