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.
"More sun, afternoon showers"
An area of disturbed weather brought more clouds than rain across the area yesterday, however our weather should begin to improve as we head through our Friday as this moisture begins to shift to our west.
Our weather this morning will start off mainly dry along with temperatures in the mid 70s. We'll more than likely see a few more rays of sunshine through the day, which will allow temperatures to gradually work their way into the lower 90s.
A breezy east to northeasterly wind will set up across the Peninsula, dragging a few showers across the state and into our own backyards during the afternoon and early evening hours. Thereafter, our skies will go quiet and clearing conditions will take place overnight as lows dip into the mid 70s for most.
The weekend is looking pretty good with more sunshine in the morning and your typical hit or miss afternoon showers and storms.
Early next week, moisture will increase across Southwest Florida with more clouds than sun in the forecast. As our wind flow becomes more onshore off the Gulf of Mexico, showers and storms will be possible during the morning and afternoon hours. Due to the extra cloud cover and rain, temperatures will be held down a bit into the upper 80s.
In the tropics, Tropical Storm Nadine continues to move on a northwesterly path while maintaining winds of 70 mph. Nadine is forecasted to become at least a category one hurricane over the next 24 hours, however it will start to take more of a northeasterly turn and recurve out to sea with no impact on and land areas.

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.
"More sun, afternoon showers"
An area of disturbed weather brought more clouds than rain across the area yesterday, however our weather should begin to improve as we head through our Friday as this moisture begins to shift to our west.
Our weather this morning will start off mainly dry along with temperatures in the mid 70s. We'll more than likely see a few more rays of sunshine through the day, which will allow temperatures to gradually work their way into the lower 90s.
A breezy east to northeasterly wind will set up across the Peninsula, dragging a few showers across the state and into our own backyards during the afternoon and early evening hours. Thereafter, our skies will go quiet and clearing conditions will take place overnight as lows dip into the mid 70s for most.
The weekend is looking pretty good with more sunshine in the morning and your typical hit or miss afternoon showers and storms.
Early next week, moisture will increase across Southwest Florida with more clouds than sun in the forecast. As our wind flow becomes more onshore off the Gulf of Mexico, showers and storms will be possible during the morning and afternoon hours. Due to the extra cloud cover and rain, temperatures will be held down a bit into the upper 80s.
In the tropics, Tropical Storm Nadine continues to move on a northwesterly path while maintaining winds of 70 mph. Nadine is forecasted to become at least a category one hurricane over the next 24 hours, however it will start to take more of a northeasterly turn and recurve out to sea with no impact on and land areas.
