Heat, Sunshine, A Little Rain In Tampa Bay’s Forecast

TAMPA, FL — The sunny streak that dominated the weekend is expected to continue for a few more days in the Tampa Bay area. Warmer temperatures, however, are also expected to make a return with rain possible as the workweek continues.

According to the National Weather Service, Monday should kick things off with mostly sunny conditions and a high in the mid-80s. A partly cloudy night is expected with a low in the mid-60s. Rain isn’t in the forecast for the region, but that doesn’t mean a few drops won’t fall somewhere.

Tuesday is expected to be a good day to drag out short-sleeve shirts and shorts. Forecasters do expect mostly sunny skies, but a high in the mid-to-upper 80s is also likely. The overnight low is expected to fall to the mid- to upper 60s with partly cloudy skies anticipated.

More sunshine is in the cards Wednesday with a high again in the mid- to-upper 80s likely. Partly cloudy overnight conditions are expected along with a low in the upper 60s.

Thursday could bring a break from highs in the upper 80s. Forecasters anticipate some showers will move into the region, which could keep the day’s high down to about 80. Rain chances are expected to persist into the evening hours when the low is forecast to fall into the low 60s.

Thursday’s rain is expected to set the region up for a nice weekend in the weather department. The forecast for Friday calls for partly cloudy skies a high only in the low 70s. The overnight low is expected to drop into the upper 50s with partly cloudy skies likely.

Mild conditions are expected to stick around on Saturday, but temperatures may climb again on Sunday.

As of Monday, forecasters did not expect Thursday’s storms to bring the potential for severe weather along with them.
