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.

Higher rain chances return to the forecast Monday as a weak front settles right over Southwest Florida. This front will keep the atmosphere unsettled over the next couple days until some drier air chips away at our rain chances by Wednesday.

Rainy days and Mondays don't always make for the best combination, but at least the rain won't be too widespread.

We'll mainly just see a scattering of showers starting as early as this morning and then carrying over into the afternoon. Shower movement will be from west to east, and locations farther north will likely see the most rain.

A few thunderstorms will also be possible today, especially once things start to heat up a little by the late morning and afternoon, but we don't anticipate any severe weather.

Winds will be a little breezy at times, and wind gusts may get up to 20 mph, especially near the coast.

Aside from the extra showers today, our sky should still be at least partially sunny. We will, however, notice a lot more clouds cover compared to the weekend, and as a result, temperatures should only warm into the mid to upper 80s.

Tuesday will likely be a tad wetter as the front gradually slides farther south. Look for the possibility of rain Tuesday morning and then more rain and a few thunderstorms during the afternoon.

By Wednesday, the front should be far enough south so that we get more sun and fewer showers along with a slight dip in humidity. Overnight and early mornings will also be more comfortable starting Wednesday with mostly clear skies and lows in the low to mid 70s.

On Thursday and Friday, we'll enjoy mainly skies for most of the day, but some late-day showers and a few storms will still be possible, particularly for areas close to the coast and Highway 41.

6:52 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL

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.

Higher rain chances return to the forecast Monday as a weak front settles right over Southwest Florida. This front will keep the atmosphere unsettled over the next couple days until some drier air chips away at our rain chances by Wednesday.

Rainy days and Mondays don't always make for the best combination, but at least the rain won't be too widespread.

We'll mainly just see a scattering of showers starting as early as this morning and then carrying over into the afternoon. Shower movement will be from west to east, and locations farther north will likely see the most rain.

A few thunderstorms will also be possible today, especially once things start to heat up a little by the late morning and afternoon, but we don't anticipate any severe weather.

Winds will be a little breezy at times, and wind gusts may get up to 20 mph, especially near the coast.

Aside from the extra showers today, our sky should still be at least partially sunny. We will, however, notice a lot more clouds cover compared to the weekend, and as a result, temperatures should only warm into the mid to upper 80s.

Tuesday will likely be a tad wetter as the front gradually slides farther south. Look for the possibility of rain Tuesday morning and then more rain and a few thunderstorms during the afternoon.

By Wednesday, the front should be far enough south so that we get more sun and fewer showers along with a slight dip in humidity. Overnight and early mornings will also be more comfortable starting Wednesday with mostly clear skies and lows in the low to mid 70s.

On Thursday and Friday, we'll enjoy mainly skies for most of the day, but some late-day showers and a few storms will still be possible, particularly for areas close to the coast and Highway 41.
