URGENT UPDATE: Tampa residents can expect a warm and dry Thursday, with temperatures soaring into the upper 70s along the coast and nearly reaching 80 degrees inland. This warming trend is accompanied by a comfortable southwest breeze, increasing humidity levels throughout the day.
As evening approaches, patchy dense fog is anticipated to form, with temperatures only dipping to a mild low of 60 degrees by Friday morning. The pleasant conditions are set to shift as a cold front approaches the area, bringing rain showers starting Friday and continuing into Saturday.
Officials from the National Weather Service forecast that this front will introduce significant changes to the weather pattern, making it essential for residents to stay informed. The expected rainfall could impact outdoor plans over the weekend, and it’s crucial to prepare for possible weather-related disruptions.
Residents are urged to take caution while driving during the foggy conditions overnight and into Friday morning. With the humidity rising, it’s a stark contrast to the cooler temperatures expected after the front passes.
Stay tuned for further updates as forecasters continue to monitor this developing weather situation. Prepare for a weekend of wet weather after today’s warm reprieve.
