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.
A FEW SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY
Rise and shine Southwest Florida.
It looks like another glorious day is on tap, but don't leave home without the umbrella. You'll need it at times!
There's a cold front pushing into north Florida, and it's forcing a lot moisture into the state out ahead of it. You noticed it yesterday in the way of clouds, humidity, and the stray downpours.
Friday will be very similar. We'll have coastal showers passing through as you head out the door, and those will be progessing east of I-75 as we push into the lunch time hour.
Make sure the kids can find a way to stay dry as they head to school!
This afternoon - expect a few stray showers to be hanging around, too.
Tonight the cold front will be fading away, and that's good news for us!
Why?
Some dry nice air is coming in behind it. I mean. Really. Nice. Air. The humidity will be low, and we're going to see overnight temperatures drop to the lower 60s by Sunday!
With the drier air in place we'll see partly sunny skies for Saturday with a slight chance of a late day shower. Sunday, we really see the effects. The skies will be sunny, the humidity low, and not a drop of rain.
That will continue until midweek. Around the Wednesday to Thursday time frame we'll see our winds start coming from the east. That'll replace our dry air with the muggy uncomfortable air.
Highs will be in the mid 80s, and lows will tumble into the lower 60s after Saturday.
Tropical mischief? Nope, not a thing right now.

With the drier air in place we'll see partly sunny skies for Saturday with a slight chance of a late day shower. Sunday, we really see the effects. The skies will be sunny, the humidity low, and not a drop of rain.
That will continue until midweek. Around the Wednesday to Thursday time frame we'll see our winds start coming from the east. That'll replace our dry air with the muggy uncomfortable air.
Highs will be in the mid 80s, and lows will tumble into the lower 60s after Saturday.
Tropical mischief? Nope, not a thing right now.

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.
A FEW SHOWERS FOR FRIDAY
Rise and shine Southwest Florida.
It looks like another glorious day is on tap, but don't leave home without the umbrella. You'll need it at times!
There's a cold front pushing into north Florida, and it's forcing a lot moisture into the state out ahead of it. You noticed it yesterday in the way of clouds, humidity, and the stray downpours.
Friday will be very similar. We'll have coastal showers passing through as you head out the door, and those will be progessing east of I-75 as we push into the lunch time hour.
Make sure the kids can find a way to stay dry as they head to school!
This afternoon - expect a few stray showers to be hanging around, too.
Tonight the cold front will be fading away, and that's good news for us!
Why?
Some dry nice air is coming in behind it. I mean. Really. Nice. Air. The humidity will be low, and we're going to see overnight temperatures drop to the lower 60s by Sunday!
With the drier air in place we'll see partly sunny skies for Saturday with a slight chance of a late day shower. Sunday, we really see the effects. The skies will be sunny, the humidity low, and not a drop of rain.
That will continue until midweek. Around the Wednesday to Thursday time frame we'll see our winds start coming from the east. That'll replace our dry air with the muggy uncomfortable air.
