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.
The spring-like warmth we've enjoyed for last several days will soon come to an end this week as a cold front eventually slides into Southwest Florida tomorrow.
That means we've got one more day of sunny, dry weather with highs in the mid 80s before rain showers start pushing in from the northwest Tuesday afternoon.
Even though today's skies will be relatively quiet and tranquil today, there is a concern for low visibility once again this morning, both over the Gulf and over land. Sea fog will make visibility challenging at times today, and areas of fog will also develop in spots across Southwest Florida.
The fog and low clouds will ultimately give way to sunshine by the mid morning, and temperatures will warm quickly into the mid 80s during the afternoon.
A balmy breeze will continue out of the south today, which at times will gust to 20-25 mph.
Rain prospects will stay rather slim today, but a couple spotty showers aren't out of the question this afternoon deep inland.
Tuesday will be much different as a cool front slides in from the northwest, bringing lots of clouds along with scattered rain and perhaps a few storms by the afternoon.
Cloudy skies and a few showers may even carry over into Wednesday before the front makes its final push through our area by Thursday. Once the front clears Southwest Florida, temperatures will take a dive. Daytime highs Thursday will comfortably reach the mid 70s, Friday the low 70s, and by Saturday there's a chance we won't make it out of the 60s. Our overnight temperatures will also spend several nights on the cool side with 50s and 40s possible by the weekend.
Often times after a cold front moves in, it only takes a couple days before our weather starts warming back up, but this might not be the case this go around. Computer models are suggesting a big shift in the weather pattern through the first 7-10 days of March where temperatures will stay cooler than average, meaning it might not be until mid March before the spring break weather makes it back to Southwest Florida.

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.
The spring-like warmth we've enjoyed for last several days will soon come to an end this week as a cold front eventually slides into Southwest Florida tomorrow.
That means we've got one more day of sunny, dry weather with highs in the mid 80s before rain showers start pushing in from the northwest Tuesday afternoon.
Even though today's skies will be relatively quiet and tranquil today, there is a concern for low visibility once again this morning, both over the Gulf and over land. Sea fog will make visibility challenging at times today, and areas of fog will also develop in spots across Southwest Florida.
The fog and low clouds will ultimately give way to sunshine by the mid morning, and temperatures will warm quickly into the mid 80s during the afternoon.
A balmy breeze will continue out of the south today, which at times will gust to 20-25 mph.
Rain prospects will stay rather slim today, but a couple spotty showers aren't out of the question this afternoon deep inland.
Tuesday will be much different as a cool front slides in from the northwest, bringing lots of clouds along with scattered rain and perhaps a few storms by the afternoon.
Cloudy skies and a few showers may even carry over into Wednesday before the front makes its final push through our area by Thursday. Once the front clears Southwest Florida, temperatures will take a dive. Daytime highs Thursday will comfortably reach the mid 70s, Friday the low 70s, and by Saturday there's a chance we won't make it out of the 60s. Our overnight temperatures will also spend several nights on the cool side with 50s and 40s possible by the weekend.
Often times after a cold front moves in, it only takes a couple days before our weather starts warming back up, but this might not be the case this go around. Computer models are suggesting a big shift in the weather pattern through the first 7-10 days of March where temperatures will stay cooler than average, meaning it might not be until mid March before the spring break weather makes it back to Southwest Florida.
