With mainly a west wind we can expect highs to be near what the water temperature is at the area beaches.

We didn’t get much but some got a little on Sunday. A storm system will once again sweep a frontal system our way but it will not happen until late Friday through the weekend.

Lows over the past two mornings have been below average (60 degrees). It has been nice with lows in the mid 50′s in places.

Well finally nice spring weather hit the Suncoast on Thursday after a month of record warmth in March.

The early forecast for the number of storms and the intensity is out from Dr. Philip Klotzbach from Colorado State and his team is projecting an above average season.

Well finally a cold front moved through the Suncoast. It only took 23 days! March is in the record books as the warmest March ever for the Suncoast since records began in 1911.

Winds will whip around to the NW at 15-20 mph with gusts up to 25 mph once the front moves through early Weds. morning. A small craft advisory is in effect for Suncoast waters through 11 a.m. Wednesday.

There has been a lot of violations of the 6 ft. rule and groups less than 10 on some of the sandbars and islands on Suncoast waters lately. Thus Governor DeSantis, has released an executive order for boaters for Florida.

Just a week into spring and it’s going to feel more like mid summer this weekend as temperatures soar into the low 90′s.

It has been the best spring break weather I can remember with no rain recorded at the Sarasota/Bradenton airport for the month of March. You have to go back to April 1967 to find a month that we didn’t have any rain.

This never ending pattern of warm weather with generally sunny days is going to continue for a while as high pressure holds its grip firmly over our weather pattern.

High pressure continues to hold firm over Florida both in the upper atmosphere and lower atmosphere. This will keep an approaching cold front well to our north.

These past few days have been warm to say the least. The high on Thursday was 88 a couple of days shy of the record of 91 degrees for the Suncoast.

High pressure firmly in control over the Gulf and Florida means we won’t be seeing and cold fronts for a while. We will see plenty of sunshine on Thursday once the patchy fog burns off.

It’s been a warm one to start and now to finish as we wrap of the winter season of 2019/2020. Winter officially ends Thursday right before midnight (11:50 p.m. ) so not a complete day of winter. It is the earliest Spring has started since 1896 some 124 years ago.

it’s starting to feel more like summer but were still in winter! Spring officially begins at 11:50 p.m. Thursday March 16th.

The weather is going to be perfect for outdoor activities as high pressure will dominate our weather through the weekend and beyond.

Spring has sprung here along the Suncoast. In fact it will feel more like summer for inland areas this weekend as temperatures soar into the upper 80′s well inland and the heat index will be in the low 90′s.

Warm spring weather to continue for a while has high pressure remains in control over Florida. This means we will see plenty of sunshine and temperatures running about 5-10 degrees above average.

It is no wonder why folks flock to the Suncoast this time of year it’s beautiful! Florida will live up to its reputation as a warm weather destination all this week as temperatures will soar into the low to mid 80′s each day.

High pressure off the SE U.S. will keep us warm through the next 7 days. In fact looking at the long range forecast up to 10 days we should be staying nice and warm here for a while.

Back to the jackets at least in the morning hours as temperatures will once again go below average through Sunday morning. The average high is 75 and low is 55 degrees.

The heat index was in the low 90′s in places on the Suncoast Wednesday and on Thursday we can expect more of this heat and humidity and then things change on Friday.A cold front will sweep through early Friday morning and as winds will shift behind the cold front we will see much cooler air settle

Winter has been sporadic all season long. We have seen a stretch of 80 degree days followed by one or two cold days. There has been more warm days than cold for sure. For the past 3 days it’s been cold (for Florida anyway) with highs only in the low 60′s

A long cold winter night expected with lows in the mid 40′s for most and some upper 30′s inland. With a north wind blowing at 10-15 mph wind chills will be in the mid 30′s mainly east of I-75 and upper 30′s to low 40′s closer to the coast.

A strong cold front will move through the area tonight. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible through 9 p.m. and then look for light showers up the midnight and then clearing and turning cooler after that.

A strong cold front will move through the area on Wednesday. We can expect to see some showers overnight and plenty of clouds.

This cold front will have a lot more rain with it and this time the cold will stick around a lot longer. So keep the jackets and sweaters handy you are going to need them.

Winter comes back strong to the Suncoast with lows in the mid 40′s and some areas seeing wind chills in the upper 30′s for a few hours on Saturday.

We have been blessed with beautiful beach weather all this week with highs in the 80′s but that is about to come to an end.
