A weak cold front moves through Southwest Florida on Saturday with barely a splash attached: just a 10% chance of a shower, followed by noticeably lower humidity that sticks around through Tuesday. From Sunday through Wednesday, the forecast stays rain-free with lows in the mid-60s and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Veterans Day on Wednesday looks especially pleasant, making it a great day for ceremonies, beach walks, or getting out on the water.
While the skies clear out, the Peace River near Arcadia remains the story. The river stage is at 16.25 feet, well above the 11-foot flood stage and just below the 16.5-foot crest. Major flooding continues through Monday, easing to moderate levels by Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents in the Arcadia area should continue following guidance from local emergency officials and avoid driving through flooded roadways.
Looking ahead, a stronger cold front arrives next Thursday and Friday, potentially bringing cooler air and a possible First Alert Weather Day. How are you planning to spend this stretch of beautiful weather? Let us know in the comments.
