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.
Sunday was a very busy day in the weather department with widespread rain and storms leading to rain totals between 1-2 inches in many locations with some spots even coming closer to 3 inches. It looks as though we have some more rainy days coming down the pike as our forecast this week revolves around a weakening cool front that will slide down the Florida peninsula starting Tuesday.
For our Monday, we still have the opportunity for some scattered showers and downpours, but today shouldn't be as stormy as Sunday. Look for a mostly sunny sky to start the day with most spots staying dry this morning. A few showers will start building in early this afternoon, moving from southwest to northeast. As we progress through the afternoon, the rain and storms will tend to favor inland areas instead of the coast. We'll see partial sunshine this afternoon with highs warming into the upper 80s to 90.
We don't expect tonight to be as busy as last night, so most of us will in store for partly cloudy and mild conditions through the night
By Tuesday morning, an onshore flow will develop, which will lead to a few showers washing ashore close to the coast. By the afternoon, more rain will likely develop ahead of a stalling front to the north, so look for the potential for several showers and storms through the day Tuesday.
We'll continue to see the front hang around Wednesday, giving us a good chance for more rain and storms in the morning and afternoon.
With the extra cloud clover expected Tuesday and Wednesday, our high temperatures will be a bit lower, so look for mid to upper 80s during the afternoon instead of low 90s.
Rain chances will slip slightly during the second half of the week, but we'll still be in line for scattered showers and storms each afternoon from Thursday through the upcoming weekend.

AS WITH EVERY SEPTEMBER, DEALERSHIPS ARE FILLING UP WITH NEXT YEAR'S MODELS.
AND AS ALWAYS, THEY'RE LOOKING TO CLEAR OUT 2012 INVENTORY. WHICH, ALTHOUGH A YEAR OLD. IS STILL NEW.
"Yes, in every case, the 2012 models will have full warranty that will last just as long and they have zero miles on them. So, this is in every way, shape and form still a brand new car"
PHILIP REED AT EDMUNDS.COM SAYS NATURALLY, THE 2012'S WILL BE DISCOUNTED.
.BUT DRAMATICALLY SO THIS YEAR BECAUSE SO MANY ARE GOING THROUGH DRAMATIC DESIGN CHANGES.
"So, that means the 2012's will be the last model built that way and the 2013's will look completely different"
FOR EXAMPLE, HERE'S THE 2012 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AND HERE'S THE 2013 VERSION.
EDMUNDS HAS IDENTIFIED MORE THAN A DOZEN VEHICLES. UNDERGOING DESIGN CHANGES IN 2013. AND EXPECTS DEEP DISCOUNTS ON THE OUTGOING 2012'S.
.WHICH ARE MORE EASILY FOUND ON THE INTERNET.
"So, rather than going to a car lot and walking down rows of cars, the good way to find out where these cars are and where these bargains exist is by using the inventory tools that are available both on dealership websites and on our website, too" 4407
HE SAYS BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP, GET AN IDEA HOW MUCH YOUR TRADE-IN IS WORTH. AND ARRANGE YOUR OWN FINANCING TO SEE IF THE DEALERSHIP CAN BEAT IT.
"So, it's very important for the consumer to pay attention to all pieces of the deal, not just the price of the new car 4328

TO UPGRADE, OR NOT TO UPGRADE.
THAT TIME BETWEEN AN APPLE I-PHONE LAUNCH AND THE DAY THE GADGET HITS STORES CAN BE STRESSFUL DECIDING IF IT'S WORTH BRAVING THE CROWDS, OR EVEN PAYING FOR A NEW PHONE, WHEN YOU HAVE A SMARTPHONE ALREADY.
HERE'S WHAT THE EXPERTS HAD TO SAY.
Return to index of stories...
If you have an iPhone 4S, this may not be a necessary upgrade for you, because when the software comes out, you'll get a lot of the enhancements that the new phone will have in the software, which is free. But if you have anything older than an iPhone 4S, I absolutely think that this is a worthy purchase.
REMEMBER, THE 4-S WENT ON SALE JUST LAST OCTOBER.

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.
Sunday was a very busy day in the weather department with widespread rain and storms leading to rain totals between 1-2 inches in many locations with some spots even coming closer to 3 inches. It looks as though we have some more rainy days coming down the pike as our forecast this week revolves around a weakening cool front that will slide down the Florida peninsula starting Tuesday.
For our Monday, we still have the opportunity for some scattered showers and downpours, but today shouldn't be as stormy as Sunday. Look for a mostly sunny sky to start the day with most spots staying dry this morning. A few showers will start building in early this afternoon, moving from southwest to northeast. As we progress through the afternoon, the rain and storms will tend to favor inland areas instead of the coast. We'll see partial sunshine this afternoon with highs warming into the upper 80s to 90.
We don't expect tonight to be as busy as last night, so most of us will in store for partly cloudy and mild conditions through the night
By Tuesday morning, an onshore flow will develop, which will lead to a few showers washing ashore close to the coast. By the afternoon, more rain will likely develop ahead of a stalling front to the north, so look for the potential for several showers and storms through the day Tuesday.
We'll continue to see the front hang around Wednesday, giving us a good chance for more rain and storms in the morning and afternoon.
With the extra cloud clover expected Tuesday and Wednesday, our high temperatures will be a bit lower, so look for mid to upper 80s during the afternoon instead of low 90s.
Rain chances will slip slightly during the second half of the week, but we'll still be in line for scattered showers and storms each afternoon from Thursday through the upcoming weekend.
