Dog locked in 115°F car rescued in Sarasota

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 14, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

SARASOTA, Fla. — Temperatures in Florida are rising fast, so leaving pets in cars can turn deadly quickly. Earlier this week, officers with the Sarasota Police Department responded to University Parkway to help rescue a dog that was left in a hot car. The temperature inside the car was 115 degrees Fahrenheit, according to officials with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services. Body camera footage shows the moment when an officer broke a window of the dark colored car and brought the dog to safety. When the owner came back outside, he told deputies that he left...

Forecast: Cloudier, cooler Friday morning

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 14, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

We kick off our Friday with lots of clouds hanging over Southwest Florida thanks to a weak front pushing south of our area. Expect mostly cloudy weather through the morning, but it’s also going to feel a bit cooler and less humid in the wake of the front that’s moved through overnight. The front won’t be strong enough to impact our daytime temperatures, so plan on another warm day with highs on track to reach 90 degrees. We’ll still have enough moisture around today to support some areas of afternoon rain, particularly south across Collier County...

FORECAST: Clouds linger tonight

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 13, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

A nearly stationary front over the Gulf will keep clouds overhead tonight with a few showers possible before it clears on Friday morning. Don’t expect any changes with this front as the air mass behind it has been significantly modified. A modest drop in humidity can be expected for the weekend before a shot of drier air arrives on Sunday. Friday and Saturday will be muggy, but not brutally humid, with highs in the low 90s. An isolated shower for the entire area can’t be ruled out, but overall rain chances should be low. A backdoor cold front will push through on Saturday night...

Forecast: Summer-like humidity continues Thursday

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 12, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

Another day of heat and humidity is expected before a push of drier air arrives for the weekend. Above normal temperatures in the low 90s will continue with humidity making it feel more like the mid and upper 90s for Thursday. Inland showers and storms are possible for the afternoon as the coast remains mainly dry again. By Thursday night, a weak cold front will approach the area, leading to shower chances for everyone, although coverage looks low. Model data brings this front in a bit earlier than yesterday’s solutions, so there is a possibility that Friday is dry for most....

Forecast: Hot, humid, with inland storms

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 11, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

Not much has changed with the forecast over the last few days as we are starting our transition into rainy season. We’re not into full rainy season just yet, but this transition means our temperatures continue to climb into the low 90s nearly every afternoon, with isolated to scattered storms developing on the seabreeze by lunchtime. Today the seabreeze will set up just east of I-75, so expect a few isolated storms focused along and east of I-75, much like yesterday. This pattern will not break down until the end of the week as a cold front approaches. This cold front will...

Forecast: Scattered afternoon thunderstorms

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 10, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

For most of us it was a dry and hot Mother’s Day, however some of us picked up much needed rain in the form of afternoon thunderstorms developing along the seabreeze. Today is going to be similar, with a few showers and thunderstorms developing by the afternoon, mainly along and east of I-75. A few showers are also possible in Collier County this morning thanks to isolated pockets of rain near Miami, but the first half of the day will be dry for many of us. We are starting our transition into the rainy season as scattered showers with a few thunderstorms possible in the afternoon...

Written by Fort Myers Mortgage Syndicated User on May 9, 2021. Posted in Fort Myers Mortgage, Mortgage Fort Myers.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mom figures today and every day! As you celebrate today, however, the weather should be pretty nice, but we want you to keep an eye out for thunderstorms this afternoon on the seabreeze. Any storms should hold off until after lunchtime and will be focused along and east of I-75. Don’t cancel outdoor plans, just keep an eye on the sky (and the NBC2 Weather App with the Live Doppler Radar!) It will also be another warm day with highs back into the low 90s with humidity creeping back up. The rest of the week will feature warm and humid...
