Tampa is starting Sunday with clear skies, light winds and temperatures near 67 degrees, setting up a notably comfortable morning. The city should stay mostly sunny and dry through the afternoon, with a high near 85.

Sunny, Dry Sunday Gives Tampa A Break

North-northeast winds will remain between 0 and 5 mph, and the rain chance is effectively zero today. The National Weather Service expects drier air to keep humidity lower than usual, making the afternoon feel less oppressive than a typical late-September day.

Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low around 69. Monday stays mostly sunny with a high near 88. Temperatures near 90 are expected in the Tampa area.

Storm Chances Return Midweek

Rain chances increase Wednesday, especially south of I-4, with a high near 90 and breezy conditions remaining fairly light.

Thursday and Friday bring a similar setup: mostly sunny mornings, highs near 90 to 91 degrees, and a better chance of afternoon or evening showers and storms. Saturday also looks hot, with a high near 91 and storms possible after 2 p.m.

Sunday should stay mostly sunny and dry. For outdoor plans, the next couple of days offer the driest window before moisture and storm chances build later in the week.
