Good morning! In the wake of Tropical Storm Nicole (could have fooled me a tropical storm -- or remnants thereof -- passed close by yesterday!), drier air is moving in off of the Gulf of Mexico and we'll set up a series of dry to mainly dry days across SWFL. For today, still a bit breezy with low pressure off the east coast and, because of some low level moisture still nearby, we'll see a partly cloudy sky today. We may even be able to squeeze out a couple of light showers across the area, but these won't amount to much.
Today's forecast:
Naples Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 87
Bonita Springs Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 89
Fort Myers Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 89
Cape Coral Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 88
Port Charlotte Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 88
Hendry Co. Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 90
Glades Co. Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 89
DeSoto Co. Partly Cloudy Breezy; High 88
Beyond today, mostly sunny to partly cloudy through the weekend with a steady north breeze by the Saturday and Sunday. This north breeze will bring in lower dewpoint (drier) air -- we'll have morning lows in the 60's over the weekend east of I-75! A weak upper level disturbance moves through Saturday night and Sunday and should produce a few more clouds for the second half of the weekend, but not much more than that.
Have a great Thursday!
Brian
