Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Naples, FL

SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 102 AM EDT Mon Mar 9 2026

A few stray showers over the interior are quickly diminishing early this morning. Outside of a few stray coastal showers, most of South FL will remain dry this morning. Some patchy fog is likely this morning over the typical interior locations.

Surface high pressure will remain in control early this week. This will result in southeast flow continuing across the area, albeit much weaker than what was seen for much of the last week. With the weaker flow, the Gulf coast sea breeze will be able to make a good push inland again today, and with PWAT values of 1.2-1.4 inches and MUCAPE values of 1500 J/kg during the peak heating of the day, some scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible from mid afternoon through early evening over inland areas.

Drier conditions are expected on Tuesday. Forecast soundings show PWAT values dropping to around 1.1 inches with plenty of dry air in the mid and upper levels. While a stray shower can't be completely ruled out, chances are only 10% or less across the area.

Temperatures will remain above normal with highs today and Tuesday ranging from the low to mid 80s across the east coast metro to upper 80s and around 90 over inland SW FL. Lows tonight will be in the 60s/70s.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 102 AM EDT Mon Mar 9 2026

High pressure will remain in the western Atlantic through the middle of this week. Mainly dry conditions will prevail through Wednesday.
A better chance of rain is expected towards the end of the work week as a frontal boundary slides south across FL and approaches our area by Friday before weakening and eventually dissipating over South FL or just to the south of us. While any rainfall will be welcome given the ongoing drought, QPF amounts Thursday through the weekend are meager, only adding up to a few tenths of an inch. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will remain in the forecast next week as whats left of the frontal boundary lingers in the area.

Temperatures will remain above normal through mid week, with only a few degrees of relief for the end of the week into next weekend.
