530AM~STORMWARN FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

530AM~STORMWARN FORECAST-WXWALL

Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.

Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. By tonight and Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.

Here's how our Monday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures in the mid to low 70s. Sunshine will basically dominate our sky through the day with just some patchy clouds expected to float through during the afternoon. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.

Our sky stays clear tonight as humidity levels start a modest descent. The lowering humidity combined with a clear sky and northerly wind will support low temperatures near 70 by early Thursday, and many locations may even cool to the upper 60s, especially inland.

The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Thursday, making the air feel slightly more comfortable. Temperatures will still be rather warm, too, with daytime highs mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.

Thursday night will likely be the coolest as temperatures area wide dip into the upper 60. The urban corridor will be closer to upper 60s while the more rural settings cool to the middle 60s.

The beautiful weather also rolls along into Friday and Saturday. Both days will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs in the upper 80s.

By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.

WE'RE JUST ONE DAY OUT -- FROM THE VICE-PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE.

MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MITT ROMNEY CAMPAIGNED HARD IN OHIO ON TUESDAY.

POLLS THERE SHOW THE RACE HAS TIGHTENED SINCE THE DEBATE.

THE STAKES ARE HIGH WITH JUST 27 DAYS LEFT IN THE CAMPAIGN.

CAMPAIGN 2012-PKG

SCRIPT:

Gaining momentum in polls, Mitt Romney has redoubled his effort in the

crucial state of Ohio.

Romney-SOT-

I'VE BEEN WATCHING SOME OF PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RALLIES AND THEY CHANT "FOUR

MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS." /I THINK THE RIGHT CHANT OUT GO BE FOR THEM

FOUR MORE WEEKS, FOUR MORE WEEKS!

Romney will spend four of the next five days campaigning in Ohio.

Republicans know the stakes: If Romney were to lose the Buckeye state, he

would have carry nearly every other battleground state to capture the White

House.

A new CNN poll shows a tightening race, with President Obama leading Romney

51 to 47 percent among likely Ohio voters. The President was in the state

again yesterday rallying supporters.

Obama-SOT-

ALL RIGHT, BUCKEYES, WE NEED YOU. WE NEED YOU FIRED UP. /I NEED YOU READY

TO GO TO VOTE BECAUSE WE'VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO.

He also continued the attack against Romney for what he said at last week's

debate about Big Bird and PBS funding.

Obama-SOT-

ELMO'S MAKING A RUN FOR THE BORDER/OSCAR'S HIDING OUT IN HIS TRASH CAN/

GOVERNOR ROMNEY PLANS TO LET WALL STREET RUN WILD AGAIN, BUT HE'S GOING TO

BRING THE HAMMER DOWN ON SEASME STREET.

The Obama campaign says it continues bringing up the PBS funding is because

it was the first thing Romney mentioned when he was given a chance to

address the deficit at last week's debate.

For his part, Romney called the Big Bird "controversy" a distraction.

Romney-SOT-

AT A TIME LIKE THIS FOR THE PRESIDENT TO GET UP AND SAY AS HE HAS OVER THESE

LAST SEVERAL DAYS THAT HE'S FOCUSED ON SAVING BIG BIRD IS KIND OF A

STRANGET THING IN MY VIEW.

THE NEXT MAJOR HEAD TO HEAD IN THIS RACE COMES TOMORROW NIGHT WHEN VICE

STORMWARN GENFORECAST OPEN-CLIPTOPS

STORMWARN FORECAST-WX WALL

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.Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.

Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. By tonight and Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.

Here's how our Monday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures in the mid to low 70s. Sunshine will basically dominate our sky through the day with just some patchy clouds expected to float through during the afternoon. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.

Our sky stays clear tonight as humidity levels start a modest descent. The lowering humidity combined with a clear sky and northerly wind will support low temperatures near 70 by early Thursday, and many locations may even cool to the upper 60s, especially inland.

The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Thursday, making the air feel slightly more comfortable. Temperatures will still be rather warm, too, with daytime highs mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.

Thursday night will likely be the coolest as temperatures area wide dip into the upper 60. The urban corridor will be closer to upper 60s while the more rural settings cool to the middle 60s.

The beautiful weather also rolls along into Friday and Saturday. Both days will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs in the upper 80s.

By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.
