Here's your Tampa area forecast for late Friday into Saturday and Easter Sunday.

  • Warm Easter weekend
  • Wind from east
  • Rain chance late next week

That east wind that has been with us all week will continues into this weekend. It will be breezy overnight into early Saturday morning; therefore, don’t be surprised if you smell smoke in some areas because any smoke inland will blow across our region toward the Gulf.  

Skies will be partly cloudy with lows in the upper 50s north, but low to mid 60 from the bay south.

Saturday will start out comfortable again with a breeze from the east and pleasantly low humidity. Skies will be mostly sunny and the warmest air will pile up on our side of the state again.

Expect highs a couple degrees warmer this weekend, topping out in the mid to upper 80s. The humidity will be low, though, so it will not feel too bad, especially if you are in the shade.

Saturday night will be nice with partly cloudy skies going mostly clear. Lows will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s.

Sunday will wrap up the Easter weekend on a nice note, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. It will, however, be another warm day, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

That east breeze pattern will continue, but there are finally some signs of it slowly breaking down next week.
