Gusts of up to 40 mph and rain? Coming storms to bring severe weather to SW FL
El Niño will be on full display this week as a low-pressure system works its way from the Gulf of Mexico across the Sunshine State.
Heavy rains and high winds are expected, with forecasts calling for tropical storm force winds over the Lee-Collier area.
“A front that went through a couple of days ago is stalled across the Florida Straits, and we have high pressure in the mid-Atlantic region,” said Jenn Hubbard, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Ruskin. “The pressure gradient is really tight, and that causes winds to increase.”
Winds are expected to be heavy for the next several days, with conditions peaking between Thursday night and Friday for Southwest Florida. Those gusts could reach 40 mph.

So much for mild winters.
