FIRST WEATHER

COLD FRONT COMING TOMORROW

The forecast calls for changing weather starting tomorrow. The balance of our evening will be mostly clear with mild 60's and a little fog again tomorrow morning. The first half of Thursday will be mostly sunny once again with a high in the mid to upper 70's. In the afternoon we will start to track some rain showers moving in from the west. Skies should cloud-up after lunchtime and some showers will cross the area around 2:00 p.m. The rain showers forecast should not last all afternoon and move through quickly. I expect that most places will receive less than ¼ inch of rain tomorrow. The winds will increase by late day and southwest Florida boaters should be aware that the weather tomorrow morning will be nice, but turn windy and rough by the end of the day. Our highs in the 70's will quickly drop back to the 60's by sunset and we are going down to 50 degrees by Friday morning.

The extended outlook for the weekend looks cool with variable clouds overhead. High temperatures both Saturday and Sunday will be in the 70's and overnight lows throughout the area will noticeably cooler this weekend.
