Skies will be partly sunny to mostly cloudy with rain chances increasing tomorrow afternoon. There is a 30% chance for scattered showers along the coast, and a 40% chance for showers inland. Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 70s, and low 80s for areas that remain dry.
After a cool and crisp start, sunshine will be the dominate weather feature today. A very stable atmosphere is sitting over the state and it will be very difficult to produce any showers these next couple of days.
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.
High pressure will move to the Atlantic to make way for an approaching trough of low pressure. The surface reflection of the of the upper air trough is a cold front that will bring us some cooler and less humid air. Most of today will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy but in the second half of the af
After 30 days of no rain we may end the month by getting some. A storm system moving across the deep South will bring a cold front our way moving in to the Suncoast Tuesday night.
Today will be another hot one with high temperatures in the upper 80′s and some inland spots hitting 90 or above. Winds will be light and variable as a sprawling area of high pressure sits nearly directly over us. This will allow a sea breeze to build today, keeping the coast a bit cooler.
It’ll be another unseasonably warm day tomorrow with temperatures expected to climb into into the mid 80s, and into the upper 80s and low 90s inland. Dew points will be in the upper 60s and low 70s bringing feel-like temperatures 3-6 degrees warmer than the actual air temperature.
Records may be broken this weekend as a warm high pressure area in the upper atmosphere glides over the state of Florida. The large area of sinking air will serve to warm the air beneath.
It is now 25 days and counting since we have seen any measurable rain here along the Suncoast. Sure there have been a few isolated showers this month mainly inland but those were few and far between.
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.
After 19 or the last 23 days running above normal, today will not be an exception. Today will be very similar to yesterday with highs near the coast in the low to mid 80′s and temperatures east of the interstate in the mid to upper 80′s.
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 has retreated slightly west and south of the Suncoast. We will have lighter winds for the next few days and a stronger sea breeze that will start earlier in the day
Skies will be mostly sunny tomorrow with afternoon highs will top out in the low 80s along the coast, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 80s for inland locations. Dew points will be in the upper 60s, which will bring heat index values anywhere from 86-90 degrees across the Suncoast.
Our dry and unseasonably warm weather pattern will continue for the time being due to an upper level ridge dominating overhead. This is keeping any type of front or lifting mechanism to move far enough south to bring any type of measurable rainfall through next week.
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.
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.
High pressure expanding up from Cuba and across Florida will suppress shower activity today. There will be plenty of Sunshine and little in the way of rain
Unseasonably warm temperatures will continue tomorrow with temperatures running anywhere from 6-10 degrees above average. Temperatures will top out in the low 80s along the Gulf Coast and in the mid 80s east of I-75.
It’ll be bright and sunny tomorrow with afternoon highs topping out in the low 80s. Temperatures are expected to climb back into the mid 80s for inland locations. Winds will be light and variable throughout the day.
High pressure and sinking air expands over Florida this weekend. The effect of this will be to continue our light easterly winds and limited upper air moisture.
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.
High pressure will continue to drive our weather. For those that like the warm weather then this is your week. Highs will climb to upper 70′s near the coast, low 80′s between near the interstate and mid 80′s well inland.
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.
High pressure builds across the deep south and Florida over the next 7 days. This means a sinking dome of dry air helping to squash the rising air needed for showers.
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.
A high pressure in the Atlantic continues an onshore flow and could drive one or two stray but short-lived showers from the east coast throughout the day. Overall, expect another dry and mild afternoon with temperatures topping out in the low 80s.
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.
It’ll be a pleasant, but mild evening with temperatures falling into the low 70s around sunset. Skies will be partly cloudy with overnight lows falling into the low 60s. Winds will start to relax out of the east at 5-10 mph.
High pressure will drive our weather this week. For today a northeast flow of air will bring a warming wind that takes us very close to the 80 degree mark. The official recording station at the airport may be in the upper 70′s today but many other locations will see low 80s'.
A zonal flow aloft will provide mild and relativity quiet conditions across the Suncoast through the work week. One or two stray and short-lived showers can’t be ruled out for inland locations during the week.
A high pressure to our north will continue moving east into the Atlantic. This will shift our winds to the east at 10-15 mph with higher wind gusts. This shift in the wind will allow temperatures to warm into the low to mid 70s and bring a slight increase in low level moisture across the state of Fl
Winter refuses to give up on the Suncoast with yet another cool weekend ahead. There will be plenty of sunshine both days as high pressure moves in and keeps skies clear.
Winds have picked up out of the northwest and cooler air is filtering in. Temperatures are running about five degrees cooler than twenty fours hours ago.
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.
Today is the day that we put into motion the changes that will eventually bring much cooler and drier air to the Suncoast. A strong south wind will continue to pump humid and warm air into the Suncoast today.
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
For tomorrow afternoon, skies will be partly sunny and temperatures will once again rebound back into the low 80s. Winds will be breezy out of the south at 10-15 mph with wind gusts up to 20 mph.
The morning forecast will call for patchy dense fog in most inland locations. Tomorrow morning we could see the fog expand to include areas near the coast and in marine waters. As the fog lifts the day will become mostly sunny and very warm. Many inland locations will see highs this afternoon approa
Sea fog will reduce visibility by several miles for those who live along the coast. Dew points will remain in the upper 60s and low 70s tomorrow. High dew points combined with temperatures getting back in the low 80s will set up for another muggy afternoon.
For the next two days a southerly wind will pump moisture into the Suncoast and raise our humidity. Skies will be calm but cloud cover on the increase into Thursday.
A southerly wind flow establishes tomorrow and will allow a weak upper level ridge to develop over the southeast. Afternoon highs will climb into the upper 70s and even into the low 80s in one or two locations.
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.
It is a First Alert Weather Day focused mainly in the late afternoon and evening. A First Alert Weather Day is a heads-up we give when disruptive weather is possible so you will have as much advanced notice as possible.
Humidity will increase throughout the afternoon making it feel muggy as temperatures climb around 80 degrees. Showers will begin to increase in coverage ahead of the initial cold front late Tuesday evening and into Wednesday.
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.
For Monday and most of Tuesday, the weather will be beautiful, with highs in the upper 70s, rain-free and low in humidity. But late Tuesday night and into Wednesday things change rapidly.
Big changes for the Suncoast today. The thin line of showers in the pre-dawn hours exits the area and winds pick up. We had an overnight low of 73 but that will likely become our high temperatures for the day and morning temperatures will fall into the 60′s and perhaps upper 50′s.
A front, which is stationary just to our north, will receive another push of cooler air and slip into the Suncoast tomorrow morning. Until then, we will stay on the warm and humid side of the front and today the weather will feature morning clouds and patchy light fog with a slight chance for light
Warm and humid air is over the area this morning and a scattered shower or two is possible into the afternoon. Cloudy skies start the day then skies will become partly sunny. It will be another warm afternoon with a high in the low 80′s.
Expect near record breaking warmth to continue for 2 more days here along the Suncoast and then break out the parkas as chilly weather moves in for a couple of days.
Warm and moist air is in place and morning clouds will give way to sunny skies. The combination of sunshine and southeast wind will bump our temperatures into the 80′s again today
Aside from the chance for some patchy morning fog, the forecast looks tranquil for the next few days. It will be warm, however, with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above the normal.
High pressure will continue to provide a warm east flow of air which will bring the possibility of patchy morning fog. Sunday will be warm and mostly sunny to start with wind slackening in the afternoon.
The weak cold front which moved through on Friday evening will switch the winds around to the NNE and pick up in intensity. This will bring in some slightly cooler and drier air for Saturday.
Periods of clear skies and very moist air lifting north on southerly winds produced the morning fog. Dense in places, the visibility has been reported to be less than 1/4 mile this morning.
