FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

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.

We had quite the Groundhog Day doozy across Southwest Florida, and if Punxsutawny Phil had made an appearance here, he most definitely would've seen his shadow.

Temperatures were very pleasant through the day, although a little chilly early this morning, and humidity levels stayed very comfortable. Most areas saw those daytime highs in the mid 70s, which is in line with average for the first weekend in February.

The good new is if you liked today, we've got more beautiful weather in the works for what looks to be a super Sunday. Temperatures will be a little chilly once again late tonight into early Sunday morning with temperatures dropping into the upper 40s and lower 50s across urban Southwest Florida. We'll get a few degrees cooler farther north and deeper inland with some of the inland cold spots falling into the low to mid 40s.

After a chilly start Sunday morning, temperatures will warm up nicely during the day with afternoon highs aimed for the mid 70s once again under a clear, sunny sky.

We've actually got another reinforcing shot of cool air coming our way late Sunday, which should allow temperatures to get a few degrees cooler Sunday night in Monday morning. Most of us in the urban corridor will cool off into the mid to upper 40s while those of us deeper inland get down to the low 40s and even upper 30s.

We'll be basking in sunshine from start to finish on Monday, but that reinforcing shot of cool air should only allow daytime highs to reach the low to mid 70s.

The next warm up will begin Tuesday afternoon as temperatures return the upper 70s, and for the rest of the week, daytime highs should be close to 80 with partly cloudy skies.
