SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Clouds are building overnight as a cold front approaches. The majority of rain will arrive late this afternoon. The humidity will spike up as the storms make their way through the Suncoast. Tuesday morning’s low temperature will dip to 58, and the high will reach the low 70s in the afternoon.
