FIRST WEATHER-STC

FIRST WEATHER

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

Some patchy rain and even a couple thunderstorms will push into the area this evening and tonight as a cold front slides southward through Southwest Florida.

The rain will come at us from the Gulf of Mexico but will be weakening as it edges our way.

As we go through the night, the rain will keep pushing south and should clear the area by midnight. Our sky will gradually clear late tonight into early Thursday, and temperatures will become a little cooler with lows getting down to the mid 50s.

Thursday will be a gorgeous spring day with lots of sunshine along with lower humidity and cooler temperatures. After starting out in the mid 50s, we'll spend the afternoon with highs only reaching the low to mid 70s. We'll also have a nice northerly breeze from 10-15 with some higher gusts up to 20 mph.

Temperatures will be on the cool side again to start our Friday with lows around the low to mid 50s, but a quick temperatures turnaround is expected Friday afternoon as daytime highs rebound to the low 80s.

The warmth and humidity will keep building in early this weekend with highs reaching the mid 80s along with a mix of sun and clouds.
