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.
WARM TODAY, A FEW SHOWERS TOMORROW
The high pressure system that has been in place over Southwest Florida giving us some pleasant weather will continue to control our weather today. We'll see mostly sunny skies and highs will warm into the lower 80s. Ahead of a cold front, our winds will be coming in from the southeast, gusting up toward 20 mph this afternoon helping us with today's warm up. There is a cold front on the way for tomorrow. Starting tonight, we could see a few showers. Through the day tomorrow there will be some showers and possibly even a few thunderstorms as the front works its way through the area. The best rain chances will be during the work day. Behind that front, cooler, drier weather will move back into Southwest Florida. We'll see plenty of sunshine for the middle and end of the week with highs in the mid and upper 70s for a couple of days. Overnight lows will drop to near 50 degrees for Thursday and Friday mornings. If you are already planning ahead to the weekend, it looks like we'll be back near 80 degrees by then.

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.
WARM TODAY, A FEW SHOWERS TOMORROW
The high pressure system that has been in place over Southwest Florida giving us some pleasant weather will continue to control our weather today. We'll see mostly sunny skies and highs will warm into the lower 80s. Ahead of a cold front, our winds will be coming in from the southeast, gusting up toward 20 mph this afternoon helping us with today's warm up. There is a cold front on the way for tomorrow. Starting tonight, we could see a few showers. Through the day tomorrow there will be some showers and possibly even a few thunderstorms as the front works its way through the area. The best rain chances will be during the work day. Behind that front, cooler, drier weather will move back into Southwest Florida. We'll see plenty of sunshine for the middle and end of the week with highs in the mid and upper 70s for a couple of days. Overnight lows will drop to near 50 degrees for Thursday and Friday mornings. If you are already planning ahead to the weekend, it looks like we'll be back near 80 degrees by then.
