TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa Bay residents can look forward to a stretch of remarkably consistent and warm weather this week, with temperatures steadily climbing toward the mid-80s before a cold front arrives Sunday night.
Conditions today will remain mostly sunny with a high near 80 degrees, supported by a gentle east wind. As the sun sets, the sky is expected to stay mostly clear, allowing temperatures to dip to a comfortable 58 degrees.
This pattern continues into Wednesday, with highs reaching 81. While the morning will see a southeast breeze, winds are projected to shift from the southwest by the afternoon.
As the week progresses, the primary weather concern will be the development of patchy fog during the overnight and early morning hours. Forecasters expect visibility could be impacted late Wednesday night into Thursday morning, and again on Friday and Saturday mornings.

Despite the early mist, daytime conditions through the end of the work week will be bright and warm, with Thursday hitting 82 degrees and Friday reaching 84.
The peak of the heat is slated for Saturday, where clear skies and calm morning winds will give way to a high of 85 degrees. However, the atmosphere will begin to shift late Saturday night. Cloud cover will increase, bringing a slight 20 percent chance of showers after 1 a.m.
A more significant change arrives on Sunday as a cold front moves through the region. The area faces a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms under partly sunny skies, with a daytime high of 77. The real shift occurs Sunday night when the mercury is expected to plummet to 45 degrees. Monday will feel significantly crisper, remaining sunny but with a much cooler high of just 64 degrees.
