Heat, Humidity Return To Tampa Bay Area

TAMPA, FL — It’s often said that all good things must come to an end. And, so it goes for the Tampa Bay area’s string of sunny days with low humidity and mild, springtime temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, the week ahead is likely to be a steamy one with temperatures in the mid-80s and humidity levels back in the 90-percent range.

Monday is expected to kick things off with mostly sunny skies and the coolest high temperatures of the week in the low to mid-80s. Humidity levels are expected to be high though, so it could get a bit sticky out there. A mostly clear night with a low in the lower 60s is forecast. Breezy conditions are also anticipated.
