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.
We're on track to see another mostly sunny, warm day across Southwest Florida with pretty slim rain chances once again.
We'll start the day with a few patchy clouds, but sunshine will prevail as we go through the morning and afternoon. Our temperatures will still run a few degrees above average with highs aimed at the low 80s inland and upper 70s along the coast.
A warm breeze out of the east will keep winds up to 5-15 mph during the day, but winds won't be quite as gust as in previous days.
There's very limited moisture around Southwest Florida today, but we may see just enough to support a one or two stray showers. Aside from a couple lonely sprinkles, though, we'll stay mostly dry today.
Our rain chances are now looking slightly more promising by midweek as a result of a disturbance that's appearing a little bit stronger. This system should swing across Southwest Florida late Wednesday into Thursday morning, and as it does so, we may see some widely scattered showers Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. Don't get too excited about our rain prospects, however, as these showers should stay pretty isolated and "hit or miss."
The main side effect we'll notice from this system will be an increase in cloud cover from Wednesday afternoon through the first part of Thursday.
Once the disturbance exits Thursday afternoon, we'll get back to seeing mostly sunny and dry weather with daytime highs close to 80 and overnight temperatures dipping down to 60.
The upcoming weekend is looking very nice with partly cloudy skies and warmer than normal temperatures. We've seen some indications Saturday and Sunday might offer up a few more showers, so we'll continue monitoring this possibility over the next couple days.
In the meantime, there's no indication we'll be getting a cold front in the near future, so enjoy the warmer weather while it's here!

JOHN BOEHNER SAYS ITS A CREDIBLE PLAN, BUT THE WHITE HOUSE SAY IT DOES NOT MEET
THE TEST OF BALANCE.
THE REPUBLICAN PLAN CALLS FOR $800 BILLION IN HIGHER TAX REVENUE OVER 10 YEARS.
IT WOULD KEEP THE BUSH-ERA TAX CUTS IN PLACE FOR ALL INCOME LEVELS, BUT IT DOESN'T INCREASE THE RATES FOR WEALTHY AMERICANS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS THERE WILL BE NO DEAL UNLESS
REPUBLICANS AGREE TO END THE TAX CUTS FOR FAMILIES MAKING MORE THAN $250-THOUSAND A YEAR.

"The most important thing about this fiscal cliff is it could result in less discretionary income for the consumer - which could really have an impact on the economy."

Weather Trends
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.
We're on track to see another mostly sunny, warm day across Southwest Florida with pretty slim rain chances once again.
We'll start the day with a few patchy clouds, but sunshine will prevail as we go through the morning and afternoon. Our temperatures will still run a few degrees above average with highs aimed at the low 80s inland and upper 70s along the coast.
A warm breeze out of the east will keep winds up to 5-15 mph during the day, but winds won't be quite as gust as in previous days.
There's very limited moisture around Southwest Florida today, but we may see just enough to support a one or two stray showers. Aside from a couple lonely sprinkles, though, we'll stay mostly dry today.
Our rain chances are now looking slightly more promising by midweek as a result of a disturbance that's appearing a little bit stronger. This system should swing across Southwest Florida late Wednesday into Thursday morning, and as it does so, we may see some widely scattered showers Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. Don't get too excited about our rain prospects, however, as these showers should stay pretty isolated and "hit or miss."
The main side effect we'll notice from this system will be an increase in cloud cover from Wednesday afternoon through the first part of Thursday.
Once the disturbance exits Thursday afternoon, we'll get back to seeing mostly sunny and dry weather with daytime highs close to 80 and overnight temperatures dipping down to 60.
The upcoming weekend is looking very nice with partly cloudy skies and warmer than normal temperatures. We've seen some indications Saturday and Sunday might offer up a few more showers, so we'll continue monitoring this possibility over the next couple days.
In the meantime, there's no indication we'll be getting a cold front in the near future, so enjoy the warmer weather while it's here!
