Please pay attention.

Construction Safety Advisory: Please Watch Your Step 🚧

With several projects underway throughout Fort Myers Beach, including the Estero Boulevard Hurricane Repairs Project and Pier Reconstruction Project, we encourage residents, visitors, and motorists to use extra caution when traveling through active construction areas, particularly in the Downtown District.

Stay alert for uneven surfaces, changing traffic patterns, and construction equipment. Please follow all posted signage, pedestrian detours, and designated walkways to help keep everyone safe.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as work continues to improve and restore our island!

Tropical update

TROPICAL UPDATE: Chances for a Tropical System in the Gulf this week continue to increase as of Monday. Next name is . Here's the latest and what to know:

1) NHC is following the uptick in model trends and has bumped their odds to now 70%. Google has been more aggressive, their odds are higher at 90% for a Tropical Storm. The traditional European Model is closer to 40% for a Tropical Storm.

2) Greatest landfall potential currently is from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle & Big Bend.

3) If there is indeed a landfall, timing would be as early as Friday (10/9) to as late as Monday (10/12). Most models indicate this weekend, Saturday or Sunday.

4) Biggest wild card right now is intensity if it develops. Models are all over the place from weak, sloppy tropical depression/storm to a hurricane. Very warm water and lower shear in the short-term would promote strengthening, but then as it lifts north/northeast greater shear + some dry air could limit strengthening or hurt it. So the current wide range in potential strength is because each model has a different take on how much wind shear/dry air there will be. All possibilities should be considered at this early stage.

5) This will be a rainmaker regardless of development with a flood threat in hardest hit areas of the Northern Gulf Coast in the days ahead.

I'll continue to keep you updated with no hype, just the facts. Thanks everyone!

Tropical update.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Tropical development is possible in the Gulf over the next week. Next name is . Here's the latest and what to know:

1) Stalled front this week will bring in a lot of rain for portions of the Gulf Coast, including Florida, and will also try to form a low at the tail-end of it.

2) After trending downward the past few days, models have trended back up for the future low potentially becoming a tropical or subtropical (hybrid) system. The NHC currently is giving it a 30% chance to form as of Sunday morning. Google AI and the traditional European Model are more in the 35-45% range.

3) Very warm water + lower shear in the Southwestern Gulf could support organization. The more north it gets, however, shear will increase significantly towards the Gulf Coast states...which would hurt the possible system. The big questions are...1) How much of the high wind shear will be present over the Gulf / does it retreat north and 2) Does it spend more time in lower wind shear (stronger storm) or more time in higher wind shear (weaker storm)?

4) This will be a rainmaker regardless if it develops or not along with a flood threat in hardest hit areas.

5) Current track possibilites are from Louisiana to the Florida Big Bend. This large range will narrow in the upcoming days to a more specific area.

6) Timing is tricky. As early as this Friday (10/9) - Sunday (10/11) to push onshore or as late as the following week if it trends slower.

Nothing to freak out about right now. I'll continue to keep you updated with no hype, just the facts. Thanks everyone!

Fort Myers Beach Pier update.

🚧 Construction is underway at the Fort Myers Beach Pier, and safety around the project remains a top priority.

If you’re visiting the beach near the pier, please remember:

✅ Stay outside construction fencing, barriers and restricted areas.
✅ Follow posted signs, detours and directions from construction crews.
✅ Treat the water surrounding the pier as an active construction zone.

🚫 Do not swim, wade, fish, boat or operate personal watercraft near construction operations.
🚫 Do not walk through closed portions of the beach or construction area.
🚫 Do not look directly at welding activities, which can emit harmful UV rays.

When access near the pier is restricted, use Times Square to exit the beach. Follow the sidewalk along Estero Boulevard around the construction area, then re-enter the beach beyond Lynn Hall. Use the same route in reverse when traveling the other direction.

Coming soon: Crews will begin installing the new concrete piles. A 150-foot safety perimeter will be established around active operations and may temporarily affect nearby beach access.

Pile driving will create noticeable vibration and loud, repetitive construction noise. Crews anticipate installing approximately three piles per day, weather and field conditions permitting, as work progresses from the landward end toward the end of the pier.

Thanks for helping keep beach-goers and construction crews safe!
