Here's your Tampa Bay area forecast for the overnight hours heading into Friday and the weekend:

  • Cooler Friday
  • Warming Up Saturday
  • Small Rain Chance Starting Sunday

A cold front will move south of Florida tonight as surface high pressure builds toward the mid Atlantic coast into Friday. Drier air in the wake of the front will support a clear and much cooler night compared to previous nights.

Overnight low temperatures bottom out in the mid to upper 40s across the Nature Coast, to mid 50s around Tampa Bay. This will actually be near seasonal normals for this time of the year.

On Friday high pressure will move east of the mid Atlantic coast during the day. Winds return to easterly in the afternoon around the departing high pressure.

After a cool start, temperatures will end up around normal, with highs reaching into the mid 70s north, to upper 70s Tampa Bay.

Moisture will return on Sunday afternoon and give us a chance of showers by Sunday evening into early Monday. The showers should exit by Tuesday, but it will stay pretty warm for December.
