Not as many pockets of heavy rain now as we approach 5:30; most of the rain is very much on the light side as it moves northward with a warm front that is draped just north of SWFL this morning.

We're more or less looking at the same weather story for tomorrow but changes arrive on Thursday as the strongest cold front of the season moves toward the area. Right now, I don't think the threat of strong to severe thunderstorms is especially high but it is possible, with such a powerful system nearby, that we could have some stronger wind in any of the storms that develop Thursday afternoon. A lot will depend on how much sun we see Thursday morning before the front gets here. Either way, the coolest air since March is headed our way for the weekend!
