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.
"CHILLY TO START, A MILDER AFTERNOON"
Northerly winds have brought in a very cool and dry airmass across Southwest Florida, and as a result we'll be feeling some of the coldest air so far this season.
Clear skies overnight and light winds have allowed temperatures to plummet into the upper 40s to 50° along the urban corridor this morning. Some of our inland and northern communities will be waking up to numbers in the mid 40s, so jackets and sweaters will come in very handy as you head out the door.
High pressure migrating east across the southern states will keep our weather sunny and bright with comfortable humidity values. Despite plenty of sunshine this afternoon, daytime highs will be a bit milder compared to yesterday's high of 70° with temperatures rebounding into the middle 70s along with a nice northeasterly breeze.
Tonight wont be quite as cold as the airmass in place will start to modify. Skies will remain clear and lows here in town will drop into the mid 50s with a few upper 40s deeper inland.
By the weekend, our winds will start to take more of an easterly turn, which will usher in some low level moisture from the Atlantic. A few more clouds will be drifting across our skies with no mention of rain in the forecast.
Temperatures will recover into the lower 80s for highs, while overnight lows settle into the mid 60s. A week front will try to make its way down the peninsula early next week, but rain prospects remain fairly low with not much of a cool down as 80° readings will remain on the thermometer.

THIS AFTERNOON, THE PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO URGE CONGRESS TO EXTEND THE BUSH TAX CUTS TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIFF.

THE PROBLEM ISN'T NEW, AND LAWMAKERS HAVE HAD 3 YEARS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUEE, BUT THE GRIDLOCK IN CONGRESS HAS MOVED THE ISSUE MUCH.

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.
Northerly winds have brought in a very cool and dry airmass across Southwest Florida, and as a result we'll be feeling some of the coldest air so far this season.
Clear skies overnight and light winds have allowed temperatures to plummet into the upper 40s to 50° along the urban corridor this morning. Some of our inland and northern communities will be waking up to numbers in the mid 40s, so jackets and sweaters will come in very handy as you head out the door.
High pressure migrating east across the southern states will keep our weather sunny and bright with comfortable humidity values. Despite plenty of sunshine this afternoon, daytime highs will be a bit milder compared to yesterday's high of 70° with temperatures rebounding into the middle 70s along with a nice northeasterly breeze.
Tonight wont be quite as cold as the airmass in place will start to modify. Skies will remain clear and lows here in town will drop into the mid 50s with a few upper 40s deeper inland.
By the weekend, our winds will start to take more of an easterly turn, which will usher in some low level moisture from the Atlantic. A few more clouds will be drifting across our skies with no mention of rain in the forecast.
Temperatures will recover into the lower 80s for highs, while overnight lows settle into the mid 60s. A week front will try to make its way down the peninsula early next week, but rain prospects remain fairly low with not much of a cool down as 80° readings will remain on the thermometer.
