5:02 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL

Today's Weather Story

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

We're in store for another hot, humid, and hazy day across Southwest Florida.

After highs in the mid 90s yesterday, there's been no relief from the heat as overnight lows have remained close to 80°. We'll start the day off with ample sunshine and warm temperatures. Dry high pressure will continue to dominate our weather pattern today, keeping our atmosphere dry and stable. This will keep our rain chances today on the slim side with the opportunity for only a stray shower or two to develop during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, the vast majority of us will stay hot and dry with hazy sunshine due to African dust.

Highs today will easily climb into the middle 90s with heat index values in the low 100s.

Tonight, our skies will stay mostly clear with lows in the upper 70s.

By Saturday, the African dust should start to thin out, as a bit more moisture makes its way into the area. This will give us a slight uptick in our rain prospects with mainly afternoon showers and storms. Sunday looks to be the wetter day as a tropical wave moves closer. This will give us a better coverage of showers and storms during the day.

COVERAGE PROMISE-TRX-CG

NOW THAT YOU HAVE YOUR PRESIDENTIAL VISIT FORECAST, HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US LATER TODAY.

NBC 2 HAS A FULL DAY OF COVERAGE PLANNED FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN EVENT IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

IT STARTS WHEN AIR FORCE ONE LANDS AT 10 this MORNING.

AND WE'LL CARRY HIS SPEECH AT HARBORSIDE LIVE.

MITT ROMNEY LATEST-OC-VO-OC

WE'RE COMMITTED TO COVERING PRESIDENT OBAMA, AND REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL MITT ROMNEY, WHO WILL BE IN NEW HAPSHIRE TODAY.

WE REACHED OUT TO ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN.

STAFFERS TELL US, AS OF NOW, HE DOES NOT HAVE A SOUTHWEST FLORIDA VISIT ON HIS SCHEDULE.

BUT HE DID GO ON THE ATTACK AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENT's FLORIDA TOUR.

ROMNEY SAID - QUOTE - "I DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT, BY HIS COMMENTS, UNDERSTANDS WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY GREAT." - END QUOTE.

AND ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN TELLS NBC-2,

THE PRESIDENT IS RETURNING TO THE SITE OF HIS FEBRUARY, 2009 SPEECH IN FORT MYERS,

WHERE HE PUSHED HIS STIMULUS PLAN ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,

USING $800 BILLION OF MONEY WE HAD TO BORROW,

FOR SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T CREATE JOBS,

AND HAS LEFT US WITH AN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE THAT CONTINUES TO HOVER ABOVE 8 PERCENT.

BY THE WAY, FUNDRAISING NUMBERS SHOW ROMNEY OUTRAISED OBAMA BY NEARLY $17 MILLION DOLLARS LAST MONTH.

ONE MORE THING,

Weather Trends

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

We're in store for another hot, humid, and hazy day across Southwest Florida.

After highs in the mid 90s yesterday, there's been no relief from the heat as overnight lows have remained close to 80°. We'll start the day off with ample sunshine and warm temperatures. Dry high pressure will continue to dominate our weather pattern today, keeping our atmosphere dry and stable. This will keep our rain chances today on the slim side with the opportunity for only a stray shower or two to develop during the afternoon and evening hours. Otherwise, the vast majority of us will stay hot and dry with hazy sunshine due to African dust.

Highs today will easily climb into the middle 90s with heat index values in the low 100s.

Tonight, our skies will stay mostly clear with lows in the upper 70s.

By Saturday, the African dust should start to thin out, as a bit more moisture makes its way into the area. This will give us a slight uptick in our rain prospects with mainly afternoon showers and storms. Sunday looks to be the wetter day as a tropical wave moves closer. This will give us a better coverage of showers and storms during the day.
