Colder Weather Moving Into Tampa Bay

It’s time to dust off those jackets and pull out an extra blanket.

The National Weather Service says the warm, mild weather the Tampa Bay area has been experiencing is about to go away. While Monday is expected to bring a high in the low 70s, followed by much of the same Tuesday, conditions will change mid-week.

Forecasters are anticipating a reinforcing cold front to move through the region late on Wednesday, bringing the possibility of freezing temperatures to the northern Nature Coast while chilling the Tampa Bay area down considerably in the process.

Wednesday’s high is expected to reach the upper 60s in the Bay with a low down in the 40s. Thursday’s high will drop down to the upper 50s with a low in the 40s. As of Monday morning, forecasters expected conditions to begin warming again on Friday with a high around 63.

While chilly weather is in the forecast, rain chances throughout the week remain quite low.
