FORT MYERS, Fla. — An isolated shower is possible Sunday evening as a cold front approaches Southwest Florida. As this frontal boundary closes in on the Gulf Coast late Sunday night, increased winds and a few showers are expected overnight.
The passage of this cold front will take place early on Monday morning. Cloudy skies, breezy conditions, and a few showers are possible as this front continues to move southward over the area. High temperatures in the lower 70s will be observed earlier in the day, and by the afternoon, temperatures will drastically begin to drop throughout the remainder of Monday.
By the evening, skies will begin to clear, setting the stage for a very chilly Monday night. Temperatures will quickly drop into the 50s shortly after sunset and will continue to tumble throughout the night.
Record-breaking cold is forecast throughout many locations across the Gulf Coast Tuesday morning. The record low in Fort Myers on Tuesday is 41 degrees, and your Gulf Coast Storm Team is forecasting to tie that record with a low temperature of 41 Tuesday morning. Places like Punta Gorda and Naples are forecast to break records Tuesday morning.
Widespread 40s will reach even the most southern parts of Collier County, and upper 30s are expected for inland areas and cities in Charlotte and DeSoto counties.
Gradual warming will slowly begin on Wednesday, but below-normal temperatures are expected until the weekend…
