Tampa starts Saturday with clear skies, temperatures in the low 60s and a sunny afternoon ahead. The city should reach about 82 degrees, with a noticeable northeast breeze and almost no chance of rain.
Sunny Saturday, Breezier Sunday
Saturday night stays mostly clear, with temperatures dipping to around 68 degrees. According to the National Weather Service Tampa Bay office, Sunday will be mostly sunny and warmer near 84 degrees, but northeast winds could gust to 30 mph.
There is only a 10% chance of rain Sunday in the Tampa forecast. A few showers are more likely over interior and southwest Florida, meaning most city plans should stay dry even as the breeze picks up.
Wind Becomes The Weekend Plot Twist
The wind is the main caveat for outdoor plans, especially near the water. An earlier Hoodline forecast flagged the weekend increase, and the latest outlook keeps Tampa breezy through the start of next week.
Mostly Sunny Through Friday
Monday is forecast to be sunny with a high near 87 degrees, followed by highs near 83 Tuesday and 82 Wednesday. Thursday and Friday should return to around 84 degrees, with temperatures near normal next week.
The broader pattern looks mostly dry through the week. In other words, Tampa gets a run of warm afternoons, clear or mostly clear nights and enough northeast wind to keep the air moving.
Boaters Face Rougher Conditions
A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for Tampa Bay and nearby Gulf waters through 8 p.m. Wednesday. The National Weather Service says gusts could approach gale force Sunday, with the roughest conditions expected over the outer waters, so boaters should check conditions before heading out.
