WEATHER-STC

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

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.

In the wake of Tuesday's cool front, another wave of weather changes is in the works across Southwest Florida this Wednesday.

Breezy northwesterly winds will usher in the cool, dry air as we go through the day, holding our daytime highs in the low to mid 70s. The stiff northwesterly flow will lead to a pretty windy day, too, with winds ranging from 5-15 mph with some gusts around 20-25 mph.

We'll notice a lot more sunshine today compared to Tuesday's mostly grey sky, but look for some patchy clouds to build in off the Gulf as the cool air interacts with the warmer water of the Gulf.

Another difference today will be the change in humidity. The cool, dry air flow from the north will work to make the air less and less humid as the day wears on, and this trend will continue into the night.

A chill returns the air tonight as temperatures cool into the mid to low 50s across much of urban Southwest Florida. The exception will be close to the coast, where a wind flow off the gulf should prevent lows from dropping beyond the low 60s. Deeper inland, we'll see the potential for some upper 40s in the more rural settings.

Thursday will be another cool and refreshing day, but with a lot more sunshine. Highs should struggle to get out of the upper 60s, making Thursday one of the coolest days we've seen thus far. Thursday night will follow suit with most spots expected to dip in the low 50s closer to the coast and mid 40s inland.

Temperatures will start to warm up a bit by Friday as daytime highs return to the upper 70s.

The weekend is also shaping up to be another dandy, featuring a mix of sun and clouds, highs in the low 80s, and a nice easterly breezy.
