ROBERT VAN WINKLE FORECAST 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.

COOLER WEATHER ARRIVING

The sunshine has returned for most of us, but trust me, it isn't going to last long.

Tonight, partly cloudy skies will remain overhead and overnight temperatures will settle into the lower half of the 50s along the urban corridor.

As moisture begins to increase across Southwest Florida on Friday expect our skies to stay mostly cloudy. This will be the start of an unsettled weather pattern featuring more clouds and the threat for some wet weather as a strong disturbance dives southward toward the Gulf of Mexico.

After lows in the 40s to start on Saturday daytime highs will be rather cool in the middle 60s. Showers will begin to develop during the afternoon and carry over into Sunday. This will make for a chilly and blustery end to the weekend with afternoon temperatures in the low to middle 60s.
