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.
Another nice day is in store for Southwest Florida with more sunshine, slightly lower humidity, and low rain chances in our forecast
A layer of dry, stable air will continue to settle over Southwest Florida through the day, keeping shower chances at a minimum and sunshine at a maximum. Some thin high clouds may stream overhead to dim the sunlight at times, but overall today will be quite sunny.
Another bonus from the drier air is our humidity levels will stay slightly lower during the heat of the day, so the air should feel a littler more comfortable and not quite as muggy.
It's still going to be a rather warm day, however. Temperatures will start pleasantly in the low 70s early this morning and then quickly climb into the mid to upper 80s by midday. During the middle of the afternoon, our temperatures will peak around 90 before settling back in the 80s this evening and then the low 70s overnight.
Moisture will slowly but surely start building back into Southwest Florida through the course of the week, so we'll mention just a few late day showers Tuesday afternoon and a few more showers and storms Wednesday.
For the second half of the week, rain chances will be around 50/50 with the prime time for rain coming in the afternoon and evening. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds through the week with highs close to 90 and lows in the low to mid 70s.

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.
Another nice day is in store for Southwest Florida with more sunshine, slightly lower humidity, and low rain chances in our forecast
A layer of dry, stable air will continue to settle over Southwest Florida through the day, keeping shower chances at a minimum and sunshine at a maximum. Some thin high clouds may stream overhead to dim the sunlight at times, but overall today will be quite sunny.
Another bonus from the drier air is our humidity levels will stay slightly lower during the heat of the day, so the air should feel a littler more comfortable and not quite as muggy.
It's still going to be a rather warm day, however. Temperatures will start pleasantly in the low 70s early this morning and then quickly climb into the mid to upper 80s by midday. During the middle of the afternoon, our temperatures will peak around 90 before settling back in the 80s this evening and then the low 70s overnight.
Moisture will slowly but surely start building back into Southwest Florida through the course of the week, so we'll mention just a few late day showers Tuesday afternoon and a few more showers and storms Wednesday.
For the second half of the week, rain chances will be around 50/50 with the prime time for rain coming in the afternoon and evening. Otherwise, look for a mix of sun and clouds through the week with highs close to 90 and lows in the low to mid 70s.
