Here is your forecast for Thursday, January 22nd, 2026.
We'll wake up to lows in the upper 50s and low 60s with patchy fog.
Mostly sunny skies are expected in the morning, with partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. We'll see a 20% chance for a developing shower, courtesy of a little sea breeze. It'll be a very warm afternoon with highs in the low to mid-80s.
80s continue into the weekend, ideal for outdoor plans. Saturday morning will start off with patchy fog but finish with lots of sunshine. Sunday will be breezy at times with gusts to 20 mph out of the south, ahead of Monday's storm system.
The front associated with a powerful winter storm will pass through SWFL on Monday morning, bringing with it scattered rain showers. In the front's wake, it will be breezy at times with gusts to 20 mph. High temperatures will drop into the 60s on Tuesday.
Heads up for anyone traveling out-of-state this weekend, as travel will be severely impacted by a massive winter storm.
A large, long-duration winter storm is expected to bring widespread heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the Southern Rockies and Plains into the Mid-South beginning Friday, spreading eastward to the Mid-Atlantic and New England this weekend.
Significant ice accumulation will be possible for northeast Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Virginia. On the northern side of the storm, heavy snowfall of one to two feet will be possible from the Ohio River Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and New England. This storm will be accompanied by an Arctic front that will bring dangerous cold next week, following the wintry precipitation. This is extremely concerning for locations that may lose power.
