NEWS OPEN-CLIP

FIRST WEATHER-WXWALL

Today will be considered our day of transition as we go from above average temperatures back to the norm.

The balance of our day will be just fine. Partly sunny skies and a nice warm up to the upper 70s. A cold front will quick come over, and it'll give us a little cloud cover with a small chance of a shower this afternoon and evening.

So the first half of Thursday will be nice, but in the afternoon we will start to track some rain showers as the front approaches from our west. Skies should cloud-up after lunchtime and some showers will cross the area around 2:00 PM. The rain showers forecast should not last all afternoon and move through quickly.

WEATHER-PWC

Today will be considered our day of transition as we go from above average temperatures back to the norm.

The balance of our day will be just fine. Partly sunny skies and a nice warm up to the upper 70s. A cold front will quick come over, and it'll give us a little cloud cover with a small chance of a shower this afternoon and evening.

So the first half of Thursday will be nice, but in the afternoon we will start to track some rain showers as the front approaches from our west. Skies should cloud-up after lunchtime and some showers will cross the area around 2:00 PM. The rain showers forecast should not last all afternoon and move through quickly.

I expect that most places will receive less than ¼ inch of rain tomorrow. The winds will increase by late day and southwest Florida boaters should be aware that the weather this morning will be nice, but it will turn windy and rough by the end of the day.

The aforementioned cold front coming in today won't bring a lot of rain; however, we will certainly notice a drop in temperatures for the next several days

Our highs in the 70's will quickly drop back to the 60's by sunset and we are going down to 50 degrees by Friday morning.
