ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The persistent low cloud deck is eroding from north to south into the overnight. That means we will see some sun on Monday.

We haven’t seen the sun since Wednesday! This is not common for Florida to have such a long cloudy stretch.

Clouds will be decreasing overnight. Low temperatures will drop into the mid 40s for the Nature Coast. Other areas will see generally steady temperatures through morning, with lows in the mid 50s around Tampa Bay.

Monday afternoon will get a little warmer with lighter winds. Highs will get to around 70, still 8 degrees below normal, though. Skies will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny.

Monday night into early Tuesday, another reinforcing cold front moves through. There will not be a much moisture in the atmosphere, but there may be some patchy light rain or sprinkles over the Gulf of Mexico and into the Coastal Counties from Monday night into Tuesday morning.

For Tuesday, winds pick up again out of the north. Low clouds and coastal sprinkles will end early.

Skies will become mostly sunny. Highs will be near 70.  It will be breezy again with northerly winds.

Wednesday will cool off a little in the morning. Lows will be in the 40s north to mid 50s around Tampa Bay. Highs will continue to stay below normal, but it will be mostly sunny.

Temperatures and dew points will move up by the weekend. There may be some showers too, but another cold front is possible by the end of the weekend.
