Tampa is waking up clear and in the low 60s Monday, with plenty of sunshine and a high near 81 degrees ahead. Northeast winds will make the otherwise pleasant day feel breezy, with gusts reaching up to 25 mph.
Afternoon Sun Comes With A Strong Breeze
The National Weather Service Tampa Bay office expects a nearly rain-free day, with gusty northeast winds and a 0% chance of precipitation. The dry pattern will continue Monday night, when temperatures fall to around 62 degrees under mostly clear skies, according to the National Weather Service.
Tuesday through Thursday should look much the same: sunny afternoons near 80 to 81 degrees and cooler nights in the low 60s. Tuesday night could dip to around 60, making early mornings feel noticeably more fall-like before the daily warm-up.
Weekend Winds Pick Up Even More
Friday remains sunny with a high near 81, followed by an 82-degree Saturday and an 81-degree Sunday. Rain chances stay low, but northeast winds are expected to strengthen over the weekend, with gusts potentially reaching 25 to 30 mph.
Boaters should use extra caution: a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for Tampa Bay and nearby Gulf waters through early Tuesday. Marine winds are expected to ease slightly after Monday but remain strong enough for rough conditions, with nighttime surges reaching 20 to 25 knots through the workweek.
