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.
From today through the upcoming weekend, our weather will stay under the influence of a large area of high pressure, offering us mix of sun and clouds along with comfortably warm temperatures during the day and cool conditions at night.
The strong flow around the high pressure cell to our north will keep the easterly breeze pretty stiff for the next few days. Winds will generally range from 10-15 mph with gusts getting as high as 25 mph.
One thing we won't see very much of around here for the next several days is rain. Overall, our rain chance from today through the weekend will stay around 10% or less, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities to get a few passing sprinkles during the afternoon.
While rain will be pretty hard to come by today, clouds will not. In fact, there could be periods today when we have more clouds than sun; there's actually a very weak weather system passing through the area, which is why we expect the extra cloud cover. The weekend shouldn't be as cloudy as today, but we'll still have a fair share of patchy fair-weather clouds.
Our temperatures from today through most of next week will stay very seasonable, if not just a couple degrees above average. The average high for this time of year is 79, and the average low is 60. That's exactly where temperatures will be for our Friday. After starting the morning with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s, we'll end up in the upper 70s and low 80s during the afternoon. Temperatures over the weekend might be just a couple notches warmer with daytime highs around 82.
Don't expect any dramatic swings in our temperatures next week, either. We're tracking a cool front that will make an approach toward North Florida by mid week, but models hint at this front being too weak to bring much of a change to Southwest Florida. As a result, our forecast will stay pretty consistent through next week. We'll continue to have partly cloudy skies, highs close to 80, and very low rain chances.

Don't expect any dramatic swings in our temperatures next week, either. We're tracking a cool front that will make an approach toward North Florida by mid week, but models hint at this front being too weak to bring much of a change to Southwest Florida. As a result, our forecast will stay pretty consistent through next week. We'll continue to have partly cloudy skies, highs close to 80, and very low rain chances.

JUST AHEAD-- NBC-2 RUNS DOWN YOUR MORNING TOP STORIES.
PLUS-- A FINAL CHECK OF YOUR NBC-2 FIRST ALERT FORECAST ON THE 2'S AND A CHECK OF THE ROADS.
Return to index of stories...
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.
From today through the upcoming weekend, our weather will stay under the influence of a large area of high pressure, offering us mix of sun and clouds along with comfortably warm temperatures during the day and cool conditions at night.
The strong flow around the high pressure cell to our north will keep the easterly breeze pretty stiff for the next few days. Winds will generally range from 10-15 mph with gusts getting as high as 25 mph.
One thing we won't see very much of around here for the next several days is rain. Overall, our rain chance from today through the weekend will stay around 10% or less, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities to get a few passing sprinkles during the afternoon.
While rain will be pretty hard to come by today, clouds will not. In fact, there could be periods today when we have more clouds than sun; there's actually a very weak weather system passing through the area, which is why we expect the extra cloud cover. The weekend shouldn't be as cloudy as today, but we'll still have a fair share of patchy fair-weather clouds.
Our temperatures from today through most of next week will stay very seasonable, if not just a couple degrees above average. The average high for this time of year is 79, and the average low is 60. That's exactly where temperatures will be for our Friday. After starting the morning with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s, we'll end up in the upper 70s and low 80s during the afternoon. Temperatures over the weekend might be just a couple notches warmer with daytime highs around 82.
Don't expect any dramatic swings in our temperatures next week, either. We're tracking a cool front that will make an approach toward North Florida by mid week, but models hint at this front being too weak to bring much of a change to Southwest Florida. As a result, our forecast will stay pretty consistent through next week. We'll continue to have partly cloudy skies, highs close to 80, and very low rain chances.
