BRADENTON – Weather Underground is predicting fair weather over the course of the weekend. Over 2,500 people have downloaded a new lionfish app to report successful catches and sightings to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Comission. FWC officers arrested a Riveria Beach man after he allegedly stole nearly 300 sea turtle eggs from a St. Lucie County beach.

High pressure centered over the eastern Gulf of Mexico will keep winds out of west to northwest direction below 10 knots and seas less than 2 feet through the week and into the weekend. Thunderstorm chances will also remain minimal for the next couple of days with little more than isolated showers and a few thunderstorms...but increasing moisture this weekend will bring rain chances back to around normal.
