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.

COOL TEMPERATURES FOR ANOTHER DAY

Temperatures held steady in the 70s Saturday. It felt great and also added to our tally of below average days this month.

Yes, we will tack on more day to that tally, too.

As of Saturday afternoon we had 9 straight days of temperatures below the norm, and 17 in total for November.

It'll be a chilly start to Sunday with wake up temperatures in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Clouds will not be a factor after sunrise nor will fog. As we go deep into the day we'll see plenty of sunshine, but despite the rays - our daytime highs will stay below 81. I'm forecasting afternoon temperatures to be around 75.

After Sunday we'll see a slight increase in clouds for Monday.We'll start the week with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures returning to where they should be. Highs will be around 80 degrees.

Tuesday into Wednesday our skies turn partly cloudy. There is a very small chance we could pulll out a shower, but that chance is slim. It's actually less than 20%. So I expect most of southwest Florida to stay dry.
