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.
WARM DAYS ON THE WAY
We had a warm and mostly sunny Wednesday which is a sign of things to come.
Why? Well let me explain…
We're tracking a cool front moving through Florida, but this front will lose its battle with an area of high pressure. It'll ultimately fade away before having a chance to make it all the way to Southwest Florida.
Without a front moving in, the result will be continued warmth and increasing humidity for us over the next several days. Don't worry I'll also add in a mix of sun and clouds.
Despite the increasing humidity, however, rain prospects will keep running pretty low with the exception of a couple stray, lonely showers Friday afternoon, but rain really won't be a factor in our forecast all the way through the weekend.
There's indications in some of our long-range forecast models that another cool front will be in play for us by the middle of next week, but in the meantime the warm weather rolls along. It looks as though our daytime temperatures will keep climbing into the low to mid 80s through early next week while our overnight temps only cool down to the low to mid 60s.
