Weekend Weather: What to Expect

As our neighbors to the north celebrate spring’s arrival with news of potential snowstorms, the Tampa Bay area is bracing for warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine.

According to the National Weather Service, the weekend of March 20-22 should be a sunny one in most parts of the Bay. Friday’s high temperatures in the lower 80s will give way to an evening that’s a comfortable 65 in most of the region. Patchy fog is anticipated in the overnight hours Friday and into early Saturday morning, however.

Saturday is shaping up to be a near repeat of Friday with a high around the mid-80 mark in most of the region and an overnight low around 65. Sunday should bring slightly cooler temperatures during the daytime hours.

Rain begins to creep back into the forecast overnight Sunday with forecasters calling for a 20 percent chance of showers.

As of Friday morning, the workweek’s start is anticipated to bring more rain chances into the picture. Storms are possible during the day and overnight hours, but high temperatures should remain around 80.
