Cold front marches through Southwest Florida Tuesday
A few showers will be possible across the Gulf Coast today as our next cold front pushes through the area.
IT RIGHT HERE ON GULF COAST. NBC. >> LOOKING AT SOME OF LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT LIVE SHOTS AROUND THE COUNTRY. AND I’M LIKE, OH, ROCHESTER, NEW YORK SNOWS IT HAD THE SNOW SNOW. THANK YOU KNOW. KANSAS CITY YESTERDAY. YOU COULDN’T SEE ANYTHING OUT THERE COVERED IN SNOW. WHITE OUT CONDITIONS SAY OUT FROM THE MIDWEST TO PARTS OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY IT’S GOING TO BE A WINTRY MESS. >> INTERESTINGLY, THE SAME SYSTEM THAT IS PRODUCING ALL OF THAT. >> WINTRY MISCHIEF WILL DIRECT COLD FRONT DOWN INTO THE GULF COASTS LATER TODAY. BUT I CAN PROBABLY CONNECTED NO SNOW AT OF THAT. BUT WE’LL SEE A DIP IN TEMPERATURES BEHIND THAT FRONT WILL BE MORE NOTICEABLE THURSDAY MORNING AS TEMPERATURES DROP OFF INTO THE 50’S ABOUT THE STRONGEST COLD FRONT THAT WE’VE SEEN SO FAR THIS SEASON, BUT DEFINITELY A LITTLE CHILL BACK IN THE AIR LATER THIS WEEK. AND AS WE LOOK AT YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES TODAY, BRING THE UMBRELLA JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE AT LOT OF AREAS WILL STAY DRY, BUT THERE WILL BE SOME SHOWERS MARCHING THROUGH WITH THIS FRONT THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE GULF COAST AND THEN OUT OF THE AREA BY TOMORROW MORNING, SOME MORE OF AN OVERNIGHT EVENT WITH THAT COLD FRONT AND THEN COOLER LESS HUMID WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. IT’LL BE A VERY SHORT COLD SNAP WE LIKE TO CALL IT. AND AS WE LOOK AT THE GULF COAST LIVE RADAR RIGHT NOW, THINGS ARE LOOKING QUIET. BUT IF YOU LOOK JUST TO THE WEST OF US. OF THIS COLD FRONT, WHICH IS NOW PUSHING ACROSS THE GULF. THERE’S A FEW SHOWERS THAT WE’RE TRACKING A PRETTY FAR OFF SHORE. I THINK A LOT OF THESE WILL END UP KIND OF FALLING APART. BUT AS POSSIBLE AS WE GET THROUGH ABOUT 8 TO 9 O’CLOCK THIS MORNING, CLOSER TO 10:00AM FOR A FEW SHOWERS NEAR THE COAST AND WE’LL SEE A FEW SHOWERS MARCHING THROUGH BY THE AFTERNOON. CLOSER TO ONE TO 3 O’CLOCK. AND EVEN A FEW LEFTOVER THIS EVENING INTO THAT COLD FRONT CLEARS THE AREA. LET’S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK ACROSS LEE COUNTY. SO STARTING OFF THE MORNING, PRETTY QUIET. THERE’S THE CHANCE FOR COUPLE OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AGAIN HERE BY MIDDAY ONE. 32 O’CLOCK. THEY’LL BE MOVING QUICKLY, THOUGH, FROM WEST TO EAST. SO WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE A WHOLE LOT OF WIDESPREAD RAIN. NO THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TODAY AND WE’RE NOT GOING TO SEE A WHOLE LOT OF THE RAIN GAUGE THAT WE COULD REALLY USE IT, OBVIOUSLY WITH OUR RAINFALL DEFICIT IN PLACE. BUT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A BIG RAINMAKER FOR US. AS WE LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THOSE SOUTH EASTERLY WINDS TURNING MORE SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE DAY, EXPECTING BREEZY AND WARM DAY. AND JUST SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THINGS ARE MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST WITH A FEW OF THOSE SPLASH AND DASH SHOWERS MOVING THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AND HERE COMES THAT COLD FRONT AND THAT WILL START TO EXIT THE AREA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT THROUGH 2 O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING. SO TURNING A LITTLE BIT COOLER EARLY WEDNESDAY TODAY, WARM AND BREEZY, ISOLATED SHOWER POSSIBLE. GET RAIN. CHANCES AROUND 30%. 82 FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TO NOT QUITE AS WARM AS WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. WE MADE IT UP TO AROUND 85 AND THEN WE’RE HEADING DOWN TO THE MID 60’S EARLY ON WEDNESDAY, LOWER 60’S NORRIS. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE COOLER POCKETS. SO MAYBE A LIGHT JACKET. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TOMORROW AND THEN YOU PROBABLY PUT A LIGHT JACKET ON THURSDAY AS WE GET DOWN TO ABOUT 57 DEGREES FOR THE LOWER 50’S PLACES LIKE GORDA AND PORT CHARLOTTE. BUT LOOK HOW QUICKLY WE REBOUND INTO THE 80’S AFTER 79 AND WEDNESDAY. BACK UP TO 82 ON THURSDAY. THERE’S ANOTHER COLD FRONT THAT WE’RE TRACKING COMING DOWN THE PIKE. SO THURSDAY, FRIDAY, 80’S 80’S ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY’S THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND THEN SOME CHILLIER COMING BACK BEHIND THAT FRONT HIGHS IN THE MID 70’S. LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK AND THIS LOW TEMPERATURES BACK
