Here's your Tampa area weather forecast for late Friday into Saturday morning, along with a look at conditions through next week.

  • Cool tonight
  • Warmer weekend
  • Warmer pattern next week

Tonight will still be cool, but not as cold as the past couple nights. Lows will be in the 50s at the coast, 40s for most inland areas, and a few upper 30s in Citrus County. Skies will continue to be mainly clear into early Saturday.

Saturday will be warmer, with highs in the mid to upper 70s under mostly sunny skies. There will be a cooling sea breeze at the beach in the afternoon that will make it feel cooler there.

Saturday night will be a quiet night for outdoor activities, with mostly clear skies. Lows Saturday overnight will be in the 50s to near 60.

Sunday will wrap up the weekend with highs around 80 under mostly sunny skies. An onshore wind will make the coast a little cooler.

Sunday night will be mostly clear with lows in the 60s and 50s.

Monday will still be warm,  with highs in the low to mid 80s under partly cloudy skies.

There will be a very weak front that drifts into the area from the northeast that could trigger an isolated sprinkle or light shower, mainly from the Atlantic into Polk County. But otherwise it will remain dry.

That front will not change our temperatures much, but it will reinforce dry air in the region, so expect highs around 80 on Tuesday with mostly sunny skies.

Wednesday and Thursday of next week look bright, with highs in the low to mid 80s under mostly sunny skies. That will be the warmest we have been in a long time.

Another cold front will come through at the end of the week, likely on Friday night.  There could be a few showers and then some cooler air behind it.

As we get closer we will fine tune the forecast to see how much the temperatures will drop behind that next front.
