Tampa is starting Saturday under clear skies and a crisp-for-September 67 degrees, with a sunny afternoon and a high near 85. The cooler, drier air is giving the city a brief fall-like break before Florida’s heat and humidity begin creeping back next week.
Clear Skies And A Cooler Saturday
Rain is not expected Saturday, and north winds should stay light around 6 mph. Temperatures will fall to about 65 overnight under mostly clear skies, making Saturday evening one of the more comfortable outdoor windows in the forecast.
Sunday stays mostly sunny with a high near 86, while Monday turns sunnier and hotter near 90. The National Weather Service Tampa Bay office says the drier air should hold through Monday, keeping rain chances very limited across the area.
Storm Chances Return Midweek
The forecast begins to look more traditionally Florida-like Tuesday, when isolated showers and thunderstorms could develop after 2 p.m. The rain chance rises to 50% Wednesday, 60% Thursday and 70% Friday, with most storms expected during the afternoon and evening.
Temperatures will return to near or slightly above normal as the new week arrives. Overnight lows rise from the upper 60s early in the week to around 75 by Thursday and Friday, so the brief taste of fall will not last long.
No Watches Or Warnings Listed
No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for Tampa or nearby Gulf waters in the current outlook. For the latest forecast updates, the National Weather Service Tampa Bay office recommends checking conditions as the wetter pattern develops later in the week.
