Rain Chances Bookend Tampa Bay's Weekend

Tampa Bay area residents will have to muddle through another day or two of cooler temperatures before a return to the upper 70s.

That’s according to the National Weather Service’s forecast for the upcoming weekend. Friday kicks off with a high of about 65 anticipated and a 10 percent chance of rain. Overnight temperatures are expected to fall into the low 40s throughout much of the region.

Saturday brings a partly sunny day with a high expected to reach the mid-60s and a low around the mid-50s. Warming comes into the picture on Sunday when a mostly cloudy day is expected to bring a high in the upper 70s. Overnight lows will only fall into the mid-60 range, but forecasters say there’s a 20 percent chance of rain capping off the weekend.

The workweek starts with more chances of rain on Monday and an anticipated high in the mid-70s.
