ROBERT WX OPEN-CLIP

FIRST ALERT 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.

SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST

One more warm day is on the way for tomorrow before we see some changes in our string of warm, dry days.

A front across the northern Gulf Coast states will continue to sink southward and by late tomorrow we should see a few showers break out in the afternoon - mainly inland. On Thursday and Friday the front will move through the area and stall out to the south of us. Forecast computer models suggest that this pattern will keep our skies rather cloudy for a few days and we should be able to track some rain both Thursday and Friday. Forecast guidance says we could see over 1/2 inch of rain over that time period.

We are well below normal for rain over the last 2 months and the return of showers this week is good news.

Its what helps put Fort Myers on the map. Thousands of fans will attend spring training games this season. But what's not on the map--a bus route to drop off those fans at JetBlue park.

Take sound

Michael Pierce, Vice Chair of ADA Advisory Board of SWFL "We kind of looked at each other and said you're kidding, they built this $78 million stadium and we can't get there?"

Michael Pierce not only represents the disabled residents in lee county--he is blind himself and has not been to JetBlue park. Instead--he has been to several meetings--advocating for people like him and also for those who can't drive or don't have a car.

Take sound

Michael pierce

"Somebody dropped the ball and forgot about public transportation to go to this huge facility."

lee tran didn't forget--there is a plan is to put a new bus route that would drop off riders at JetBlue, it's just slated to happen five years from now in 2018. But Lee county commissioner Cecil Pendergrass doesn't want to see folks wait that long.

Take sound

Cecil Pendergrass, Lee county Commissioner "I think it should have already been done. I think it should have been in place when the ballpark opened. We'll have a service soon hopefully using a private partnership with a private business, help them get some business at a really low cost to the customers."

Pendergrass says the plan would be for the private company to pick up riders at the fiddlesticks bus stop and take them directly to the park. Currently--the closest stop is on treeline--about a mile and a half away from the park. Which is a long walk for most, nearly impossible for those who are disabled.
