530AM~STORMWARN FORECAST-WXWALL

We're in store for a slightly cooler, seasonable Tuesday across Southwest Florida now that another cool front has cleared the area. After starting with morning temperatures in the upper 50s, we'll warm to the mid 70s during the afternoon, which is right around average for this time of year.

The only complication with today's weather will be cloud cover as we're right under a steady stream of thin cirrus clouds, which will likely dim our sunshine for most of the day.

Winds will be a little stronger today out of the northeast between 5-15 mph with some gusts up to 20.

By tonight, the veil of cirrus clouds should begin to thin out a bit more, leading to a partly cloudy to mostly clear sky by early Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will be a bit cooler tonight with overnight lows dipping into the low 50s and even some 40s deeper inland. Most of urban Southwest Florida will cool to near 52°, but locations farther north and deeper inland will see the potential for temperatures to drop as low as the mid 40s.

Wednesday should be much sunnier as the high thin clouds continue to exit, so mostly sunny should fit the bill tomorrow. Even with the cooler start Wednesday morning, daytime high should be roughly the same as today with afternoon temperatures warming into the mid 70s.

After another cool morning with lows in the upper 40s early Thursday, a gradual warm up will begin Thursday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 70s. By Saturday, afternoon highs will be close to 80°, but another cool front is expected to swing through late Saturday, which will lower temperatures close to average once again by the late weekend into early next week.

STORMWARN FORECAST-WXCTR TO WALL

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.

We're in store for a slightly cooler, seasonable Tuesday across Southwest Florida now that another cool front has cleared the area. After starting with morning temperatures in the upper 50s, we'll warm to the mid 70s during the afternoon, which is right around average for this time of year.

The only complication with today's weather will be cloud cover as we're right under a steady stream of thin cirrus clouds, which will likely dim our sunshine for most of the day.

Winds will be a little stronger today out of the northeast between 5-15 mph with some gusts up to 20.

By tonight, the veil of cirrus clouds should begin to thin out a bit more, leading to a partly cloudy to mostly clear sky by early Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will be a bit cooler tonight with overnight lows dipping into the low 50s and even some 40s deeper inland. Most of urban Southwest Florida will cool to near 52°, but locations farther north and deeper inland will see the potential for temperatures to drop as low as the mid 40s.

Wednesday should be much sunnier as the high thin clouds continue to exit, so mostly sunny should fit the bill tomorrow. Even with the cooler start Wednesday morning, daytime high should be roughly the same as today with afternoon temperatures warming into the mid 70s.

After another cool morning with lows in the upper 40s early Thursday, a gradual warm up will begin Thursday afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 70s. By Saturday, afternoon highs will be close to 80°, but another cool front is expected to swing through late Saturday, which will lower temperatures close to average once again by the late weekend into early next week.
