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.

Clouds will mix in with sunshine through our Wednesday, providing for a partly sunny sky, and at times, more clouds than sunshine.

Like yesterday, a few stray showers may develop during the afternoon, but the chance of getting hit by one of these showers still looks pretty slim.

With the extra cloud clover around today, temperatures should be a touch lower compared to previous days, but it's still going to be fairly warm for December standards. Most places should see daytime highs close to 80, most likely between 77-79°.

You'll also notice winds will continue to slacken today with wind speeds mostly between 5-10 mph out of the east.

Now, let's address the uptick in rain prospects coming our way. We all know rain has been pretty hard to come by lately across Southwest Florida , but the chance for at least a few isolated showers looks a little more promising than initially forecast earlier in the week.

The highest rain chances this week will likely come Thursday and Saturday. With that said, don't get too excited about the prospect of rain because rain probabilities will still be less than 50/50. We're talking about a jump from 10% rain chances to 30% rain chances, but hey, at least it's something.

By Thursday morning, a weak disturbance will swing across Southwest Florida, which should stir up the atmosphere enough to produce a few widely scattered showers. This means the showers will be hit-or-miss in nature, and not everyone gets wet. In fact, most of us should stay dry.

Once this system exits the area late Thursday, we'll dry out a little more Friday, and then it looks like a little more moisture from the Caribbean will build in Saturday, which should generate some more spotty showers Saturday afternoon.

6:52 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-CLIP

6:52 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL

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.

Clouds will mix in with sunshine through our Wednesday, providing for a partly sunny sky, and at times, more clouds than sunshine.

Like yesterday, a few stray showers may develop during the afternoon, but the chance of getting hit by one of these showers still looks pretty slim.

With the extra cloud clover around today, temperatures should be a touch lower compared to previous days, but it's still going to be fairly warm for December standards. Most places should see daytime highs close to 80, most likely between 77-79°.

You'll also notice winds will continue to slacken today with wind speeds mostly between 5-10 mph out of the east.

Now, let's address the uptick in rain prospects coming our way. We all know rain has been pretty hard to come by lately across Southwest Florida , but the chance for at least a few isolated showers looks a little more promising than initially forecast earlier in the week.

The highest rain chances this week will likely come Thursday and Saturday. With that said, don't get too excited about the prospect of rain because rain probabilities will still be less than 50/50. We're talking about a jump from 10% rain chances to 30% rain chances, but hey, at least it's something.

By Thursday morning, a weak disturbance will swing across Southwest Florida, which should stir up the atmosphere enough to produce a few widely scattered showers. This means the showers will be hit-or-miss in nature, and not everyone gets wet. In fact, most of us should stay dry.

Once this system exits the area late Thursday, we'll dry out a little more Friday, and then it looks like a little more moisture from the Caribbean will build in Saturday, which should generate some more spotty showers Saturday afternoon.
