Weekend Weather: What to Expect

Tampa Bay area residents hoping for mild temperatures and sunny days during the weekend ahead are likely to find wishes do come true.

The National Weather Service is forecasting sunny days and mostly clear nights throughout the weekend.

Cool temperatures are in the cards Friday with a high only anticipated to reach the upper 70s in most parts of the region. The overnight low should drop into the mid-60s. Saturday brings about a slight warming with a high around 80 anticipated and a low in the upper 60s.

While temperatures begin to climb with a high in the mid-80s Sunday, sunshine also remains in the picture. Sunday’s overnight low is expected to reach the upper 60s yet again.

Although the cooler temperatures and sunshine should make for a nice weekend, forecasters do warn that “critically low relative humidity values” in the afternoon hours Friday, along with breezy winds, could increase the risk of fire concerns throughout the Bay.

Those conditions are anticipated to pass as the weekend moves forward.

As of Friday morning, rain was not a part of the forecast for the weekend. Chances of storms creep back into the picture as the workweek kicks off. High temperatures will once again return to the upper 80s to start the week, as well.
