Brian: A lot of coastal clouds right now.. chilly temps

Alright, so about 12-18 hours late on the low clouds but they're finally here - a reaction to all of the chilly air overtop of the Gulf of Mexico. This creates an unstable temperature profile in the low levels of the atmosphere, allowing warmer air near the Gulf to rise to around 2000-3000 feet above, become saturated and create the clouds. With a northwest wind, those low clouds will be in the sky off and on today along the coast, especially from Lee County northward. Expect temps here to stay near 60 this afternoon while, with more sunshine, temps inland rise into the low to mid 60's. Overall, with the cold air firmly in place now, most areas should run a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday afternoon. Warming trend begins tomorrow. Lauren Casey will have more for you coming up in an hour on 6 TV and of course on WINK at noon!
