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.
CHANGES COMING SOON
It is going to be a warm, humid day with a breeze. Winds from the south to southwest will come in at 15 -20 mph and gust even higher than that. That breeze will send plenty of warm humid air in our direction to warm our afternoon temperatures into the mid 80s. Cloud cover will thicken as we finish out the day and head into the night tonight. It will be rather muggy tonight and lows will only be able to cool into the mid and upper 60s in most places. Some inland cool spots could get into the lower 60s. All of this happening ahead of a cold front headed in our direction. By tomorrow morning, showers will be moving into Southwest Florida with that cold front. It is likely that the showers move through during the morning commute and will be finished before midday. This front is followed by drier, cooler air. Highs tomorrow will only reach into the low to mid 70s. After the showers end, skies will be clearing into tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. Friday morning will be rather chilly with lows in the mid 40s in the urban corridor and near 40 inland. We'll keep temperatures in the 70s through the weekend.

"When they come to our school and we integrate it in to our regular learning, they can hear it, see it, and they're taught it."

THIS MONTH'S STRIVE CHAMPION-- FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.
"She was a very caring and community person. She never gave up to help people."

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.
CHANGES COMING SOON
It is going to be a warm, humid day with a breeze. Winds from the south to southwest will come in at 15 -20 mph and gust even higher than that. That breeze will send plenty of warm humid air in our direction to warm our afternoon temperatures into the mid 80s. Cloud cover will thicken as we finish out the day and head into the night tonight. It will be rather muggy tonight and lows will only be able to cool into the mid and upper 60s in most places. Some inland cool spots could get into the lower 60s. All of this happening ahead of a cold front headed in our direction. By tomorrow morning, showers will be moving into Southwest Florida with that cold front. It is likely that the showers move through during the morning commute and will be finished before midday. This front is followed by drier, cooler air. Highs tomorrow will only reach into the low to mid 70s. After the showers end, skies will be clearing into tomorrow evening and tomorrow night. Friday morning will be rather chilly with lows in the mid 40s in the urban corridor and near 40 inland. We'll keep temperatures in the 70s through the weekend.
