5:02 FORECAST ON THE 2'S-WX WALL


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.

"Cloudy and cooler weather is on the way"

Southwest Florida will see quite the change when it comes to our weekend weather as it will feature more clouds, a few showers, and chilly temperatures.

Make sure to grab the sweaters as you head out the door this morning. Temperatures are starting off in the middle and upper 50s, under mostly cloudy skies. We may a few peaks of sun early in the day, but this will be very short lived as clouds begin to spread across the area making for a mostly cloudy and cool afternoon with a 10-15 northwesterly breeze. Daytime highs will climb into the upper 60s to low 70s, which is a good 8 to 10° below the average.

Tonight, mostly cloudy skies will stay in place and with another push of cool air, overnight lows will tumble into the upper 40s by morning.

Saturday will start of quite chilly and we're not expecting much of a warm up as afternoon temperatures remain in the middle 60s. While much of day should stay dry, a couple of passing showers during the day can't be ruled out. As upper level energy rides over the peninsula, a better chance for scattered shower activity will remain in the forecast late Saturday carrying over into early Sunday morning.

Clouds will stick around for the better half of our Sunday with partial clearing throughout the afternoon. After morning lows in the middle 40s, temperatures will have a hard time making it out of the lower 60s. High pressure will move in by the first of the week clearing our skies out with a slight warm up through Tuesday under mostly sunny skies.

By Wednesday, we'll be tracking another cold front which will bring us another shot of cool and dry air to end the week. Return to index of stories...

Make sure to grab the sweaters as you head out the door this morning. Temperatures are starting off in the middle and upper 50s, under mostly cloudy skies. We may a few peaks of sun early in the day, but this will be very short lived as clouds begin to spread across the area making for a mostly cloudy and cool afternoon with a 10-15 northwesterly breeze. Daytime highs will climb into the upper 60s to low 70s, which is a good 8 to 10° below the average.

Tonight, mostly cloudy skies will stay in place and with another push of cool air, overnight lows will tumble into the upper 40s by morning.

Saturday will start of quite chilly and we're not expecting much of a warm up as afternoon temperatures remain in the middle 60s. While much of day should stay dry, a couple of passing showers during the day can't be ruled out. As upper level energy rides over the peninsula, a better chance for scattered shower activity will remain in the forecast late Saturday carrying over into early Sunday morning.

Clouds will stick around for the better half of our Sunday with partial clearing throughout the afternoon. After morning lows in the middle 40s, temperatures will have a hard time making it out of the lower 60s. High pressure will move in by the first of the week clearing our skies out with a slight warm up through Tuesday under mostly sunny skies.

By Wednesday, we'll be tracking another cold front which will bring us another shot of cool and dry air to end the week. Return to index of stories...
