After a cool and rainy day, another cold night is in store...but sunshine returns for Sunday!

The high temperature in Ft. Myers was the coolest on record for today's date, reaching only to 57 degrees replacing the old record of 60 degrees from 1963! Combining the cool air with the rain...made for a less than pleasant start to the weekend although conditions today were not quite as dreary for folks in Collier county which tallied the lowest rainfall totals and high temperatures about 10 degrees warmer than those in Lee and Charlotte, due to a warm front that passed through Collier and came to a halt.

A cold front has made passage through all of SWFL ensuring another night of cold temperatures for all. Expect overnight lows in the upper 40's to near 50 degrees along the coast with some variation for inland temperatures...expect mid 40's for inland Collier but colder north with low 40's to upper 30's. A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect through 8 am tomorrow morning for DeSoto and Highlands counties due to the cold lows and a north wind near 10 mph.

A few clouds will be possible tomorrow morning but plentiful sunshine is on tap for our Sunday afternoon as high pressure continue to settle in. High temperatures will be well-below average, in the mid 60's but the sunny sky and low humidity...will make for a pleasant end to the weekend!

Cold again for Monday morning, but a shift to a southeasterly surface flow will permit a warmer afternoon with highs in the low 70's under a mostly sunny sky.

Have a great night!
Lauren
