TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Today was breezy & chilly with clearing skies and temperatures topping out around the mid 60s. Expect a rapid cool down this evening, plunging into the mid 40s in Tampa, upper 30s and low 40s along the Nature Coast and upper 40s to low 50s in our southern counties.

Tonight will be the coldest of this cool snap, so get the winter coats ready for tomorrow morning. Most of us start Thursday in the 40s, but there will be a few 30s out there.

Winds quickly shift and help us warm up quickly tomorrow. We’ll see highs near 70 degrees, so be sure to dress in layers to stay comfortable throughout the day. Expect increasing clouds throughout the day, making for cloudier skies overnight into Friday morning as well.

The warming trend continues into the weekend with highs in the mid 70s Friday and low 80s Saturday. We could see a few light showers each afternoon, but most areas stay dry.

Our next big weather maker is Sunday when a cold front arrives. This front will bring a 70% chance of showers and storms. We have a good chance for a few storms to be severe on Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening.

Our temperatures tumble again after the front, and the humidity will be quite low for the beginning of the week as well.
