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.
WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
In the month of December, cold fronts can be strong or weak as they pass southwest Florida. This week we will see both. A weak front is crossing the area today and a stronger front will move in early Friday morning. The weather tonight will be partly cloudy and a wind shift to the northwest will signal a little drop in humidity tonight and tomorrow. It should be nice sleeping weather tonight with the temperatures dropping to 60 along the coast and 50's inland. Skies will be partly cloudy to mostly clear this evening.
Tomorrow will be a nice sunny day with a high around 80 - 82 and more clear weather to follow tomorrow night. By Thursday we will track a stronger cold front approaching the area and skies will turn cloudy by late day. Rain showers will likely develop late Thursday and early Friday as the front moves through and drops our temperatures for the weekend ahead. You can expect highs around 70 and lows in the 40's by Saturday morning! But, as most of our cool snaps are known to do, the weather will warm up a bit by Monday and Tuesday of next week. In fact, it looks like 80 degrees again for Christmas Day.
