SHOWERS SWEPT THROUGH SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.NOW WE ARE GETTING CLOSE TO SUNNIER SKIES AS YOU LOOK LIVE AT DOPPLER RADAR.

BUT AN EVEN MORE DRAMATIC CHANGE IS STILL ON THE HORIZON.

NBC2 IS TRACKING OUR CHANGING WEATHER AT ELEVEN.

FIRST WX-WX CTR

"Turning breezy and cooler with more sunshine"

After several days in the 80s, changes are coming to Southwest Florida as a cold front moved through the area earlier this morning. Through the mid day hours, a couple of lingering spotty showers are still possible, with clearing skies as we go throughout the rest of our day. Temperatures will hover into the 60s through the lunchtime hour, however with more sunshine in store later today afternoon highs will climb near 70°.

With winds taking more of a northwesterly turn, cooler and drier air will be able to filter down the state. These winds will be a bit on the breezy side with wind gusts closing in on 25mph. This will make temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s feel even cooler than that.

Through the evening, temperatures will fall pretty quickly under clear skies with most of the area in the middle 40s first thing Friday. It's even possible to see a few upper 30s deeper inland and across our far northern communities.

High pressure will build in from the northwest with a tranquil weather pattern setting up for Friday with plenty of sunshine. Highs will stay in the lower 70s and humidity levels will be rather low making it feel very comfortable during the day.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Turning breezy and cooler with more sunshine"

After several days in the 80s, changes are coming to Southwest Florida as a cold front moved through the area earlier this morning. Through the mid day hours, a couple of lingering spotty showers are still possible, with clearing skies as we go throughout the rest of our day. Temperatures will hover into the 60s through the lunchtime hour, however with more sunshine in store later today afternoon highs will climb near 70°.

With winds taking more of a northwesterly turn, cooler and drier air will be able to filter down the state. These winds will be a bit on the breezy side with wind gusts closing in on 25mph. This will make temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s feel even cooler than that.

Through the evening, temperatures will fall pretty quickly under clear skies with most of the area in the middle 40s first thing Friday. It's even possible to see a few upper 30s deeper inland and across our far northern communities.

High pressure will build in from the northwest with a tranquil weather pattern setting up for Friday with plenty of sunshine. Highs will stay in the lower 70s and humidity levels will be rather low making it feel very comfortable during the day.
