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.
It's going to be another cool and crisp start across Southwest Florida with temperatures starting as low as the 40s across our inland communities and mid 50s through the urban corridor.
Temperatures will struggle to warm much past 70 this afternoon as a stiff, cool breeze continues from the north. Winds won't be quite as strong as yesterday, but we could easily see some gusts up to 20 mph.
Our sky will stay sunny and blue for most of the day as rain chances stay incredibly low with so much dry air in place.
Temperatures tonight will still be cool, but we don't expect to get quite as chilly as last night. Look for temperatures to dip into the low 50s inland and upper 50s to low 60s across the urban corridor.
Wednesday will be another dandy, but we'll likely have a few more patchy clouds around as our winds come off the Gulf. Daytime temperatures will rebound a little with highs expected to reach the upper 70s.
A weak cool front will slide through the area late Thursday, which could generate some isolated light showers along with some more cloud clover. Our rain chance, however, will only be around 30%.
Thursday's front should give us a nice reinforcing shot of cool, dry air, which will set things up perfectly for Friday and the upcoming weekend.
Pleasant, sunny days and cool nights will be in the cards for us from Friday through Sunday with highs comfortably in the low 80s and lows near 60.

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.It's going to be another cool and crisp start across Southwest Florida with temperatures starting as low as the 40s across our inland communities and mid 50s through the urban corridor.
Temperatures will struggle to warm much past 70 this afternoon as a stiff, cool breeze continues from the north. Winds won't be quite as strong as yesterday, but we could easily see some gusts up to 20 mph.
Our sky will stay sunny and blue for most of the day as rain chances stay incredibly low with so much dry air in place.
Temperatures tonight will still be cool, but we don't expect to get quite as chilly as last night. Look for temperatures to dip into the low 50s inland and upper 50s to low 60s across the urban corridor.
Wednesday will be another dandy, but we'll likely have a few more patchy clouds around as our winds come off the Gulf. Daytime temperatures will rebound a little with highs expected to reach the upper 70s.
A weak cool front will slide through the area late Thursday, which could generate some isolated light showers along with some more cloud clover. Our rain chance, however, will only be around 30%.
Thursday's front should give us a nice reinforcing shot of cool, dry air, which will set things up perfectly for Friday and the upcoming weekend.
Pleasant, sunny days and cool nights will be in the cards for us from Friday through Sunday with highs comfortably in the low 80s and lows near 60.
