STORMWARN 7 OPEN-CLIP

WEATHER-RP

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.

SPECTACULAR SUNDAY AHEAD

It's going to be a really quiet night for southwest Florida which will translate to a great Sunday.

We're going to start tomorrow off in the upper 70s with partly cloudy skies. As we progress through the day we'll see more sun than clouds, and most of us stay dry.

You can't absolutely rule out a stray shower during the afternoon heating, but the chance is less than 20%.

Overall, it'll be a stellar day to go to the beach, boating, or hit the golf course. The sun will be out, the winds will be calm, but the heat will be up. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s, and with high humidity it'll feel around 100.

Boating conditions will be the best we've seen in several days, too. Winds from the southwest at 5 knots. Seas less than 2 feet, and our inland waterways will be smooth.

Very similar forecast for Monday with benign weather conditions. I'll call it a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures returning to the mid 90s.

Our focal point for the past 7 days has been on an area of high pressure over the Atlantic. It'll loosen its grips on Tuesday which will allow us to see more storms from midweek forward.
