JP STORMWARN OPEN-CLIP

WEATHER-PWC

It was definitely a cold start to the week, but thankfully it isn't going to last long. That is good news. After all, we don't live in Florida for cold weather, right? Right.

Well our official low at Page Field was 38 degrees Monday morning. Naples regional checked in at 40 degrees, but our inland communities were around the freezing mark. In fact some of our coldest fields were in the upper 20s.

Tuesday morning will have a different feel to it. Temperatures will be in the upper 40s to mid 50s.

The reason why we will see such a quick warm is because a high pressure is shifting into the Atlantic. That gives us a wind from the southeast which will draw in some warmer air.

So our high temperatures will creep up each and every day. Come this weekend we will be dealing with temperatures in the mid 80s! Lows will run in the 50s and 60s.

Mostly sunny skies will be the rule for us, too, and not a drop of rain.
