STORMWAR 7 OPEN-CLIP

WEATHER-WXWALL

FULL WX

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.

MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS ON SUNDAY

Finally, those pesky clouds started to erode away on Saturday. Is that foreshadowing our days to come? Absolutely.

You're really going to like this forecast!

The reason why - an area of low pressure sitting to the northeast of Florida ushered in some dry air, and that dry air is helping to erase the clouds from our sky. However, we did pay a price for that on Saturday. The added sunshine, combined with that low, caused our atmosphere to become a little unstable. So as a result some of the area picked up a good deluge.

We're going to continue with the sunshine, but thanks to the dry air infiltrating southwest Florida, our rain chances will remain slim. In fact, 80% of the area will not see a drop on Sunday.

We'll start the week off on a dry note, too. Monday and Tuesday will be fabulous. Some clouds up above, yes, but lots of sunshine will permeate the southwest Florida skies! Lows will be around 60 and daytime highs around our average of 81.

On Wednesday we encounter another "obstacle" in our weather pattern. A tiny, but robust, low pressure will drop into the southeastern states. When that happens, a cold front will traverse the state, adding more clouds and increasing our rain chance.

Wednesday is the only day out of the next seven that could turn into a rain day.

After Wednesday, the sunshine comes back in full force. Clouds will be nearly nonexistent, and our temperatures will fall slightly above average, too!

FM WATERFRONT-OC

A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR PROJECT CHANGING THE LOOK OF DOWNTOWN FORT MYERS IS JUST A FEW WEEKS AWAY FROM BEING COMPLETED.

THE RIVER BASIN PROJECT.WILL BRING THE CALOOSAHATCHEE RIVER A BLOCK CLOSER TO DOWNTOWN.

FM WATERFRONT-PKG

BIKING THROUGH DOWNTOWN FORT MYERS.

THE SAUNDERS CAN'T HELP BUT STOP TO CHECK OUT THE RIVER BASIN PROJECT.

It's just something fascinating to be able to have one more amenity in this area that we kind if call home.

THIS IS THE VIEW OF THE FIVE POINT THREE MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT FROM THE FIRESTONE SKYBAR.

THE BASIN HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION SINCE MARCH.

IT'S PART OF THE FIRST PHASE OF WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT.

NATS

THE BASIN WILL SERVE AS A RETENTION AREA FOR STORM WATER RUN OFF.

BEFORE IT'S FILTERED AND RELEASED INTO THE RIVER.

MAYOR RANDY HENDERSON SAYS THE AREA IS ALSO DESIGNED TO BRING IN NEW SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS.

It was important for the city in the sense that it finishes off what we started 7 or 8 years ago in the way if infrastructure improvements. 4 16 23 4 16 26 This will set the table for developers to come in.

CREWS ARE WORKING ON FINISHING TOUCHES. LIKE BUILDING BENCHES.

THEN, THEY'LL CLEAR THE CONSTRUCTION STAGING.

AND UNVEIL THE NEW DOWNTOWN LOOK DECEMBER 7TH.

NATS

OTHERS STOPPING BY THOUGH. AREN'T AS EXCITED ABOUT THE RIVER BASIN.

The project turns into a very expensive sidewalk.

ALAN CURRY SAYS HE COMES DOWNTOWN OFTEN FOR THE RESTAURANTS AND ATMOSPHERE.

BUT THE BASIN DOESN'T APPEAL TO HIM.

It would have been really nice if they had allowed boats or something to come in there.

THE MAYOR SAYS ADDITIONAL BOAT ACTIVITES MAY COME DURING THE SECOND PHASE.

SO FOR NOW.THOSE LIKE SAUNDERS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW FEEL THE BASIN WILL BRING.

I've the seen the growth. I've been monitoring the growth ever since I was a kid.
