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.
The warm air is still solidly entrenched across Southwest Florida with afternoon temperatures on track to return to the lows to mid 80s during the heat of the day.
Tonight our sky will stay mostly clear, but there's also a chance that a little fog could form around sunrise. Meanwhile, our temperatures will stay above average with lows only reaching the low 60s.
Tuesday will ultimately be a carbon copy of today with lots of sunshine and afternoon temperatures back in the low to mid 80s.
As we head through the remainder of the week, look for the unusually warm January weather to continue. With lots of sunshine around, temperatures will have to trouble reaching the low to mid 80s each afternoon through Thursday.
By Friday, we'll be tracking a band of moisture in association with a cold front that will slowly push down the Florida peninsula. At first, the main side effect for us will be an increase in cloud cover along with the possibility of a few hit-or-miss more showers. Eventually, however, long-range forecast models hint at some cold air making a push toward Southwest Florida by this time next week.
Until then, our weather will stay warm, sunny and mainly dry.
