THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

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

Low clouds scrubbed the shuttle launch this morning over at KSC and some of the low clouds continue to hang around parts of Southwest Florida this morning. We have had breaks in the overcast early this morning so I expect a mix of sun and clouds through the morning before skies go mainly sunny for the afternoon. Temperatures today hold in the low to mid 60s for highs as a northerly wind at 10-15 mph drains in cooler and drier air.

With mainly clear skies tonight, temperatures fall back into the lower to middle 40s across the urban areas and upper 30s inland. The next launch attempt is forecasted for 4:14 in the morning, and with mainly clear skies here, we'll have a good chance to see it. The forecast at KSC also calls for less cloud cover so hopefully we'll be a go for launch!

As winds turn east tomorrow, warmer temperatures work back in for the afternoon as highs hit the low 70s.
