Building clouds on this mild evening

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Today was perfect- sunny, breezy, and mild with afternoon temperatures topping out in the upper 070s and low 80s. We saw an influx of coastal clouds in some areas during the afternoon. Expect building clouds overnight and a very slow cool down into the 60s.

There will be a breeze off the Gulf of Mexico that could gust up to 20 mph at times. The breeze increases ahead of a weak cold front that arrives tomorrow.

The front only brings a 20% chance of rain tomorrow, and it will not bring any cooler air. The front lifts back to the north Friday keeping highs near 80 degrees.

A slightly stronger front arrives this weekend. This front will not pass through to bring cooler air, but it does increase our rain chances. It won’t rain all weekend, but scattered showers are possible both Saturday and Sunday with extra clouds around.

The scattered showers linger into Monday and Tuesday as well. Highs stay near 80 degrees.

Looking long range, a stronger system is set to arrive in the middle of next week.
