"A weak front brings slight changes for Thursday"

After several days of nice weather across our part of the state, a very weak front will bring some slight changes to our Thursday.

Our morning will start off mostly sunny and comfortable with temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60° along the urban corridor, with a few middle 50s across our inland and northern cool spots.

A weak cold front will sag down the peninsula on Thursday keeping a mix of sun and clouds in the forecast with a slight chance for a few spotty showers during the afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will continue to run in the upper 70s to near 80°. While this front, won't bring another dose of colder air, it will reinforce the pleasant weather we've already been seeing.

As we head into Friday and the weekend, dry high pressure will clear things out and provide us with plenty of sunshine to fill our skies, along with a dry weather pattern that will hold across Southwest Florida. Expect temperatures to fall into the upper 50s to low 60s during the mornings with highs in the lower 80s during the afternoons.

President Obama visits Wisconsin, Nevada and Colorado for his first events

since Sandy hit.

Republican challenger Mitt Romney will be in Virginia today. He stumped in

Florida on Wednesday and never criticized the President.

SOT Romney

"LOOK, WE CAN'T GO ON THE ROAD WE ARE ON. WE CAN'T CHANGE COURSE IN AMERICA

IF WE KEEP ON ATTACKIGN EACH OTHER. WE HAVE GOT TO COME TOGETHER AND GET

AMERICA ON TRACK AGAIN."

The race is still a dead heat.

The daily ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll shows the candidates

tied among likely voters at 49-percent.

That same poll found Americans rate President Obama's response to the

superstorm positively. 78-percent say Mr. Obama's handling of the situation

is "excellent" or "good."

The President toured storm-ravaged New Jersey with Republican Governor Chris

Christie.

STORMWARN GENERIC FORECAST OPEN-CLIPTOPS

STORMWARN FORECAST-WX WALL

"A weak front brings slight changes for Thursday"

After several days of nice weather across our part of the state, a very weak front will bring some slight changes to our Thursday.

Our morning will start off mostly sunny and comfortable with temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60° along the urban corridor, with a few middle 50s across our inland and northern cool spots.

A weak cold front will sag down the peninsula on Thursday keeping a mix of sun and clouds in the forecast with a slight chance for a few spotty showers during the afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will continue to run in the upper 70s to near 80°. While this front, won't bring another dose of colder air, it will reinforce the pleasant weather we've already been seeing.

As we head into Friday and the weekend, dry high pressure will clear things out and provide us with plenty of sunshine to fill our skies, along with a dry weather pattern that will hold across Southwest Florida. Expect temperatures to fall into the upper 50s to low 60s during the mornings with highs in the lower 80s during the afternoons.
