SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - The threat of heavy weather is over for now but we can still expect a few scattered showers through sunrise on Wednesday as the cold front settles southward.

We will see partly cloudy skies with a 30% chance for some scattered showers through sunrise on Wednesday. On Wednesday winds will switch around to the NW at 10-15 mph with skies becoming mostly sunny later in the day on Wednesday.

Sunday a weak frontal system is forecast to move close to the Suncoast which will bring an increase in cloudiness with a 40% chance for some scattered showers. The front looks to fizzle out as it moves through our area late Sunday.
