Tampa is waking up Thursday after low clouds overnight, with patchy fog possible and temperatures in the low 70s, followed by a sunny afternoon headed toward 85 degrees. A weak front this weekend will finally take a little edge off the late-season warmth, bringing cooler mornings and highs that settle into the upper 70s next week.

Sunny Thursday With Fog Possible Early

Patchy mist or fog could briefly affect the morning, but the National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin office expects low ceilings and fog to lift by midmorning, with drier air arriving in the afternoon. Thursday should remain mostly sunny, with east-southeast winds around 3 mph and only a small rain chance, at 10% during the day.

Friday Stays Hot Before Cooler Air Arrives

Friday looks much the same: sunny, light winds and a high near 85, followed by a mostly clear night around 70. Saturday remains sunny near 83, then temperatures dip to about 63 Saturday night as a weak cold front moves through. That shift adds detail to Hoodline's earlier forecast, which already pointed to a sunny late week but had less detail on the weekend cooldown.

Sunday Looks Comfortable, Next Week Mostly Dry

Sunday should be sunny with a high near 80. Monday and Tuesday stay mostly sunny in the upper 70s, while isolated showers could return Tuesday night and linger into Veterans Day, with rain chances around 20%.

No Watches Or Warnings Posted

The forecast area has no watches, warnings or advisories listed. For outdoor plans, Thursday and Friday offer the warmest conditions, while Sunday and early next week look better for anyone who prefers a less steamy Tampa afternoon.
