ROBERT VAN WINKLE FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

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.

CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THIS WEEKEND

We spent another afternoon with highs in the upper 70s and low 80s across Southwest Florida, and the stage is set for some more warm days this week.

Also, we're tracking the next weather system that will eventually make it to Southwest Florida late Thursday into Friday. Unlike the last couple of fronts, this one will struggle to make it all the way through area, which means we'll keep more cloud cover along with a few showers in the forecast all the way through the upcoming weekend.

As we head through the overnight hours, we'll see the possibility for some patchy dense fog forming around sunrise, which may lead to some low visibilities through mid morning.

After the fog lifts, expect a mix of sun and clouds on Thursday with a high in the upper 70's to 80 degrees. A few showers may move from the Gulf over land in the early evening hours tomorrow.
