Day 4 of Fort Myers, FL (KFMY)

The Fort Myers airport weather stations are still down and so no official verification, but from the few non-official observations still left, it appears that the HRRR that I was skeptical of did have a point on a cool tongue extending down into Fort Myers, though it exaggerated it. So don’t discount it completely if it is an outlier compared to other models. My guess is that the day 2 low was 73F at 06z last night and the high is topping out at around 81F today despite mostly sunny skies this afternoon. The slightly cooler and drier air mass, slackening winds, and clearing skies will lead to more cooling tonight, likely below 70F. As Ian moves farther away by tomorrow, we’ll return to more typical Florida weather, with mostly sunny skies, a light westerly breeze, and somewhat warmer temperatures as the cool air mass moderates.
