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.
Our drier than normal weather pattern will give way to increasing rain chances by the weekend.
Sunshine will fill our skies Wednesday morning with a few high clouds drifting overhead, after a very warm and muggy start to the day. The vast majority of the area will be dry to start, with the chance of a stray shower developing out in the coastal waters, and drifting toward our beach locations.
Temperatures will warm quickly into the low to mid 90s, however the heat index or the "feels like" temperature will be well over 100°.
Some drier air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will keep showers and storms limited in coverage this afternoon and with an onshore wind continuing, any storm activity that does develop along the sea breeze will be isolated and mainly across our inland communities.
The stickiness factor will remain high through the evening and overnight period as lows settle into the middle to upper 70s by Thursday morning.
Deeper tropical moisture will arrive across Southwest Florida by the weekend, which will bring an increase in the cloud cover along with a better coverage of scattered showers and storms, especially near the urban corridor.
In the Atlantic, we are watching a tropical wave located between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Showers and thunderstorms have become a bit more organized as it moves into a more favorable environment for tropical development. Thus, the National Hurricane Center has given this a medium chance for development over the next 48 hours as it moves west at 15 mph.

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.
Our drier than normal weather pattern will give way to increasing rain chances by the weekend.
Sunshine will fill our skies Wednesday morning with a few high clouds drifting overhead, after a very warm and muggy start to the day. The vast majority of the area will be dry to start, with the chance of a stray shower developing out in the coastal waters, and drifting toward our beach locations.
Temperatures will warm quickly into the low to mid 90s, however the heat index or the "feels like" temperature will be well over 100°.
Some drier air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will keep showers and storms limited in coverage this afternoon and with an onshore wind continuing, any storm activity that does develop along the sea breeze will be isolated and mainly across our inland communities.
The stickiness factor will remain high through the evening and overnight period as lows settle into the middle to upper 70s by Thursday morning.
Deeper tropical moisture will arrive across Southwest Florida by the weekend, which will bring an increase in the cloud cover along with a better coverage of scattered showers and storms, especially near the urban corridor.
In the Atlantic, we are watching a tropical wave located between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Showers and thunderstorms have become a bit more organized as it moves into a more favorable environment for tropical development. Thus, the National Hurricane Center has given this a medium chance for development over the next 48 hours as it moves west at 15 mph.

Full Forecast
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.
Our drier than normal weather pattern will give way to increasing rain chances by the weekend.
Sunshine will fill our skies Wednesday morning with a few high clouds drifting overhead, after a very warm and muggy start to the day. The vast majority of the area will be dry to start, with the chance of a stray shower developing out in the coastal waters, and drifting toward our beach locations.
Temperatures will warm quickly into the low to mid 90s, however the heat index or the "feels like" temperature will be well over 100°.
Some drier air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere will keep showers and storms limited in coverage this afternoon and with an onshore wind continuing, any storm activity that does develop along the sea breeze will be isolated and mainly across our inland communities.
The stickiness factor will remain high through the evening and overnight period as lows settle into the middle to upper 70s by Thursday morning.
Deeper tropical moisture will arrive across Southwest Florida by the weekend, which will bring an increase in the cloud cover along with a better coverage of scattered showers and storms, especially near the urban corridor.
In the Atlantic, we are watching a tropical wave located between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
