Foggy Conditions Return for the Workweek

While a warmer, sunnier start to the workweek is expected, forecasters are warning Tampa Bay area residents to exercise caution on local roads as fog is once again anticipated to be a part of the picture.

According to the National Weather Service, the workweek kicks off with highs in the low 80s and lows in the 60s on both Monday and Tuesday. Fog, however, is anticipated to roll in during the overnight hours both days.

“Patchy areas of fog will result in reduced (visibility) during the late night and early morning hours from Tuesday through Thursday,” the service wrote in its Hazardous Weather Outlook report Monday. Patchy sea fog may also cause problems for boaters Tuesday night through Thursday morning.

As of Monday morning, forecasters anticipated highs around 80 and lows in the 60s on both Wednesday and Thursday.

Rain doesn’t officially make its way back into the forecast until Friday when isolated thunderstorms and scattered showers are possible. The high that day is anticipated to only reach the lower 70s in most parts of the Bay.
