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.
Monday ended up being fairly cloudy at times across Southwest Florida, but a lot of those clouds will fade today, giving way to more sunshine and warmer temperatures.
We'll start this Tuesday with mostly clear and sunny conditions; the only exception will be in the few spots we see some patchy fog during the early morning hours.
The breeze will ease up a little today, but winds will still mostly be out of the east, ranging from 5-15 with some higher gusts.
Temperatures will run slightly above average this afternoon with daytime highs mostly reaching the mid 80s.
Rain prospects look pretty low today, so aside from one or two stray showers, our First Alert LIVE Radar will show dry weather from start to finish.
Wednesday is also looking like another quiet day. We'll mention the possibility of seeing a few more clouds around as a weakening cool front fades and fizzles across North Central Florida, but this system will have little influence on our weather. A spotty shower or two may develop Wednesday afternoon, but rain chances will stay below 20%.
We'll have to wait for the next cold front to move through early this weekend for our next rain chance and dose of cool air.
Thursday and Friday look to be very pleasant, mild days with lots of sunshine. Temperatures will be close to average for this time of year with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the low to mid 60s.
The next cool front to head our way will approach Southwest Florida Saturday. We may see a few isolated showers as it passes through, and then we'll start to feel some changes in the air by Saturday evening.
Temperatures by Sunday morning should cool into the mid to upper 50s, and our daytime temperatures Sunday will be noticeably cooler with highs in the mid to upper 70s. The air will feel more refreshing, too, as humidity levels start to drop off.
The sunny, refreshing weather will linger into early next week, too. Afternoon temperatures should only warm to the mid to upper 70s, and overnights will cool into the 50s.

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.
Monday ended up being fairly cloudy at times across Southwest Florida, but a lot of those clouds will fade today, giving way to more sunshine and warmer temperatures.
We'll start this Tuesday with mostly clear and sunny conditions; the only exception will be in the few spots we see some patchy fog during the early morning hours.
The breeze will ease up a little today, but winds will still mostly be out of the east, ranging from 5-15 with some higher gusts.
Temperatures will run slightly above average this afternoon with daytime highs mostly reaching the mid 80s.
Rain prospects look pretty low today, so aside from one or two stray showers, our First Alert LIVE Radar will show dry weather from start to finish.
Wednesday is also looking like another quiet day. We'll mention the possibility of seeing a few more clouds around as a weakening cool front fades and fizzles across North Central Florida, but this system will have little influence on our weather. A spotty shower or two may develop Wednesday afternoon, but rain chances will stay below 20%.
We'll have to wait for the next cold front to move through early this weekend for our next rain chance and dose of cool air.
Thursday and Friday look to be very pleasant, mild days with lots of sunshine. Temperatures will be close to average for this time of year with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the low to mid 60s.
The next cool front to head our way will approach Southwest Florida Saturday. We may see a few isolated showers as it passes through, and then we'll start to feel some changes in the air by Saturday evening.
Temperatures by Sunday morning should cool into the mid to upper 50s, and our daytime temperatures Sunday will be noticeably cooler with highs in the mid to upper 70s. The air will feel more refreshing, too, as humidity levels start to drop off.
The sunny, refreshing weather will linger into early next week, too. Afternoon temperatures should only warm to the mid to upper 70s, and overnights will cool into the 50s.
