Here is your forecast for Friday, December 6th, 2024
A weak cold front will move through tonight with some cloud cover but no rain. Behind it, our winds will pick up out of the north-northeast and gust to 15 mph overnight into Saturday.
We'll feel a slight cool down on Saturday with temperatures a couple of degrees cooler than today, but a significant drop isn't expected. Temperatures will start off in the upper 40s in DeSoto county and 50s for the rest of SWFL. Highs on Saturday will warm into the mid 70s with plenty of sunshine.
RED TIDE FORECAST: This is the time of year that we tend to see Harmful Algal Blooms like Red Tide impact SWFL's coastline. While there are indications of its presence, OFFSHORE WINDS from the northeast will keep it away from local beaches. pic.twitter.com/StIOxq5J7z

If you appreciate warmer weather, Sunday's temperatures warm to near 80°. We will stay in the low 80s through Wednesday before our next front arrives.
NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN: Wednesday's front will be stronger, bringing the chance for scattered showers. Behind that front will be much cooler on Thursday with highs only in the 60s.
