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.
After a few showers overnight, things have begun to dry out just a bit across Southwest Florida.
A few patchy clouds will start our Thursday morning with mainly dry weather on tap, although it will be on the warm side with temperatures in the middle to upper 70s. Through the afternoon, we're in store for a nice mix of sun and clouds as daytime highs climb into the lower to middle 90s with heat index values near 100°.
After being in a moist southwest flow over the last several days, steering winds will begin to shift more to the east and southeast. This will keep about a 30% chance for showers and storms a bit closer to home during the peak heating of the day as the sea breeze begins to make it's way inland.
In the tropics, Tropical Depression #10 formed yesterday morning, but looks to stay well out in the Atlantic waters. Our main concern right now is Tropical Storm Isaac, as all of Southwest Florida remains in the forecast cone. As conditions become a bit more favorable in the Caribbean, gradual strengthening is imminent with a category one hurricane as it nears the island of Hispaniola. The current track has Isaac working it's way over the mountainous regions of Haiti and Eastern Cuba, which will more than likely disrupt the center of circulation and therefore weaken it possibly intro a tropical storm. Once it moves across the warm waters of the Florida Straits, intensification is possible with a category one hurricane nearing the Florida coast by late Sunday and early Monday.

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.
After a few showers overnight, things have begun to dry out just a bit across Southwest Florida.
A few patchy clouds will start our Thursday morning with mainly dry weather on tap, although it will be on the warm side with temperatures in the middle to upper 70s. Through the afternoon, we're in store for a nice mix of sun and clouds as daytime highs climb into the lower to middle 90s with heat index values near 100°.
After being in a moist southwest flow over the last several days, steering winds will begin to shift more to the east and southeast. This will keep about a 30% chance for showers and storms a bit closer to home during the peak heating of the day as the sea breeze begins to make it's way inland.
In the tropics, Tropical Depression #10 formed yesterday morning, but looks to stay well out in the Atlantic waters. Our main concern right now is Tropical Storm Isaac, as all of Southwest Florida remains in the forecast cone. As conditions become a bit more favorable in the Caribbean, gradual strengthening is imminent with a category one hurricane as it nears the island of Hispaniola. The current track has Isaac working it's way over the mountainous regions of Haiti and Eastern Cuba, which will more than likely disrupt the center of circulation and therefore weaken it possibly intro a tropical storm. Once it moves across the warm waters of the Florida Straits, intensification is possible with a category one hurricane nearing the Florida coast by late Sunday and early Monday.
