Mild Temperatures Dominate Weekend Forecast

As most of the northeast prepares for up to 2 feet of snow, residents of Pinellas County's beaches can pull out their shorts, T-shirts and sunglasses.

According to the National Weather Service, a comfortable weekend lies ahead in the Tampa Bay area.

Friday morning’s gray skies should give way to a day that’s mostly sunny with temperatures that climb to the mid-70s. The low Friday night, Feb. 8, will fall in around the mid-50s.

The forecast for Saturday and Sunday calls for much the same with a slight increase in both the high and low temperatures.

Residents should prepare for warmer weather heading into the workweek. The high for Monday is expected to reach about 80.

Rain chances remain low throughout the weekend and into the workweek, according to the weather service.
