We started this work week with wind chill advisories and then finished it with beach weather and mid 70′s for temperatures. Now we can expect another cool down this weekend as a cold front will bring temperatures back down to where they belong.
Guess who’s back? Winter’s back along the Suncoast as the cold north wind continues to blow in the coldest air of the season. With an area of low pressure developing east of Florida we will see a prolonged period of windy conditions which will bring the wind chills into the mid 30′s on Tuesday an
Since Jan. 9th the high temperature has exceeded 80 degrees and it could go to 10 on Saturday. This unbelievable stretch of warm days is about to end after Sunday.
Say goodbye to the bathing suits and beach chairs and hello to ear muffs and jackets as the coldest air of the season is coming to Florida next week and may stay for a while.
It never fails that we see a cold front during this time of year, and since the fair lasts for 10 days it is not too uncommon to see a cold front disrupt this this wonderful family event in Palmetto.
It’s been nice while it lasted but the record breaking warmth is just about over. Extreme cold has been gathering over Alaska and W. Canada over the past week and now it is on the move southward.
It’s beginning to feel a like Summer all across the land. That’s right mid to upper 80′s have been the rule since Saturday which is more typical of early June as opposed to mid January here along the Suncoast.
Do you remember Monday? People were dressed up in jackets and hats with temperatures chilling in the upper 30′s to low 40′s over parts of the Suncoast. How quickly we forget right?
These past few days temperatures were cold enough to break out the jackets and even use the car heater. That is all over after Thursday morning for the next 6 days at least.
The first cold front of 2020 will move through the area on Saturday afternoon. This front will bring a line of showers and a possible thunderstorm or two during the afternoon on Saturday.
The first 2 days of 2020 have been warm to say the least with highs above average. We will see another warm day on Friday with a high around 80 degrees.
Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! The weather is going to clear out for the last day of 2019. We will see partly cloudy skies by noon with cooler and drier air moving in.
We are in a progressive pattern with the weather now. We will see another cold front sweep through the area Tuesday night and then another Saturday night.
Although the chance for severe weather is small it is still enough for concern here along the Suncoast. We will see several factors coming together at the right time to produce a few isolated thunderstorms and of these storms one or two could turn severe.
Wow what a warm day it was on Tuesday with a high of 84 degrees at the Sarasota/Bradenton airport. That was just 2 degrees shy of the record for the day set back in 1917.
The winds of change are upon us as southerly winds will keep temperatures well above average through Saturday. A weak cold front fades away near by on Thursday and then another moves in on Saturday.
Well, well well the weekend is here and so are the warm temperatures. It is going to be fantastic one with generally sunny skies and temperatures slightly above average and no chance for rain.
The meteorological start of Winter, which is Dec. 1st, was right about on time this year. It has been chilly lately with lows in the upper 40′s to low 50′s this work week.
Keep the jackets handy as north winds will not allow temperatures to warm up all that much on Wednesday. In fact the cool weather will stay with us through Thursday as well.
With a cold north wind we can expect wake-up weather to be rather chilly for Florida standards on Tuesday. You will need to bundle up as you head out to work as lows will be some 10-12 degrees below average.
