FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

A FEW MORE CLOUDS FRIDAY

Thursday turned out to be a gorgeous day with a decent medley of sun and clouds. As we near the week's end, those clouds will grow in number.

High pressure is strengthening over the Carolinas, and that's causing our winds to pick up. Those brisk winds are able to bring clouds from the Atlantic into southwest Florida. That's what we saw on Thursday, and we'll see it for another day on Friday. However, there's an area of energy anchored just off the Texas coastline. That area will sail eastward and will help give us even more clouds to end the week.

So we have clouds coming from both the east and the west, and well, that makes for a mostly cloudy Friday. That's what we're forecasting along with lows in the upper 50s bouncing back to the low 80s come the afternoon.

Those clouds are short lived, and they will quickly erode for your weekend. Partly cloudy skies will hover over the area for Saturday and Sunday. Looks like a fabulous couple of days! We'll see more of the same Monday and Tuesday, too.

Another cold front will approach Wednesday into Thursday of next week. I expect it to fade away as it approaches, and that means our weather will remain quiet.

Temperatures will continue to be in the upper 50s around daybreak, and lower 80s can be expected for daytime highs.

Jose "He's always going to the hospital."

WHILE HAVING A SICK CHILD ISN'T EASY. HAVING A SICK KID IN EASTERN COLLIER COUNTY IS EVEN MORE OF A CHALLENGE.

STU; "For people in Immokalee, Golden Gate Estates and Ave Maria, there's no hospital. They have to go to either Fort Myers, Lehigh or Naples, taking an hour to an hour and a half to get there."

Jose "You're tired, you just got out of work and you have to drive an hour and a half just to go to the hospital."

FRANCISCA CURIEL WORKS FOR REAL LANDS CHRISTIAN MIGRANT ASSOCIATION, A GROUP THAT HELPS THE MIGRANT POOR.

MANY OF THE PEOPLE SHE SEES DON'T HAVE CARS OF THEIR OWN.

SHE SAYS PEOPLE HAVE FOUND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY FROM THE POOR BY GIVING RIDES TO THE HOSPITAL.

Francisca "Those people that do transport are charging them about 120 and that's just from here to Lehigh, Fort Myers or Naples which is much shorter."

Francisca "She had to pay between 60 and 120 she said."

THIS WOMAN, A MIGRANT WORKER AND MOTHER OF 4 HAS PAID WELL OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR RIDES TO THE ER.

FORECAST-WXWALL

A FEW MORE CLOUDS FRIDAY

Thursday turned out to be a gorgeous day with a decent medley of sun and clouds. As we near the week's end, those clouds will grow in number.

High pressure is strengthening over the Carolinas, and that's causing our winds to pick up. Those brisk winds are able to bring clouds from the Atlantic into southwest Florida. That's what we saw on Thursday, and we'll see it for another day on Friday. However, there's an area of energy anchored just off the Texas coastline. That area will sail eastward and will help give us even more clouds to end the week.

So we have clouds coming from both the east and the west, and well, that makes for a mostly cloudy Friday. That's what we're forecasting along with lows in the upper 50s bouncing back to the low 80s come the afternoon.

Those clouds are short lived, and they will quickly erode for your weekend. Partly cloudy skies will hover over the area for Saturday and Sunday. Looks like a fabulous couple of days! We'll see more of the same Monday and Tuesday, too.

Another cold front will approach Wednesday into Thursday of next week. I expect it to fade away as it approaches, and that means our weather will remain quiet.

Temperatures will continue to be in the upper 50s around daybreak, and lower 80s can be expected for daytime highs.
