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.
"Warmer weather is on the way"
After a couple of chilly mornings in the 40s our warming trend will commence today. As we head into the weekend warmer weather will return with above average temperatures.
In the meantime, grab the sweaters once again this morning. You'll need them as temperatures have settled into the middle and upper 40s along the urban corridor, with slightly colder readings across our inland communities. High pressure is set to control our weather providing us with plenty of sunshine and a cool breeze out of the north. This will keep our temperatures slightly below normal as they peak in the middle 70s under bright and sunny skies. Due to a freshly chilled Gulf of Mexico, beaches and coastal locations will more than likely hold in the lower 70s during the day.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow temperatures to drop off quickly just after sunset, but it won't be quite as cold. Lower 50s will remain in the forecast for Saturday morning with middle 40s east of I-75.
There's more good news about the weekend. After cool mornings in the 50s, afternoon highs will recover into the lower 80s under mostly sunny skies. Through Sunday, winds will take more of an easterly turn pushing just a few fair weather clouds across the peninsula. As a result of a milder airflow, daytime numbers will climb in the lower to middle 80s, as overnight temperatures settle into the lower 60s.
Early next week will remain fairly dry, however by Wednesday we'll be tracking another cold front with the possibility of a few daytime showers.

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.
"Warmer weather is on the way"
After a couple of chilly mornings in the 40s our warming trend will commence today. As we head into the weekend warmer weather will return with above average temperatures.
In the meantime, grab the sweaters once again this morning. You'll need them as temperatures have settled into the middle and upper 40s along the urban corridor, with slightly colder readings across our inland communities. High pressure is set to control our weather providing us with plenty of sunshine and a cool breeze out of the north. This will keep our temperatures slightly below normal as they peak in the middle 70s under bright and sunny skies. Due to a freshly chilled Gulf of Mexico, beaches and coastal locations will more than likely hold in the lower 70s during the day.
Tonight, clear skies and light winds will allow temperatures to drop off quickly just after sunset, but it won't be quite as cold. Lower 50s will remain in the forecast for Saturday morning with middle 40s east of I-75.
There's more good news about the weekend. After cool mornings in the 50s, afternoon highs will recover into the lower 80s under mostly sunny skies. Through Sunday, winds will take more of an easterly turn pushing just a few fair weather clouds across the peninsula. As a result of a milder airflow, daytime numbers will climb in the lower to middle 80s, as overnight temperatures settle into the lower 60s.
Early next week will remain fairly dry, however by Wednesday we'll be tracking another cold front with the possibility of a few daytime showers.
