Tampa, FL – A stretch of pleasant weather continues across the Tampa Bay region as temperatures gradually warm to above-normal levels by midweek, according to the National Weather Service.
Forecasters with the National Weather Service Tampa Bay say high pressure remains in control, supporting partly to mostly sunny skies and comfortable humidity levels through at least Wednesday. Afternoon temperatures are expected to steadily rise, reaching the upper 70s to low 80s across much of west-central and southwest Florida.

Overnight lows are expected to remain mild, generally in the upper 40s to mid-50s, depending on location.
The National Weather Service also notes the potential for patchy late-night and early-morning fog each day, particularly in inland and low-lying areas. Any fog that develops is expected to be localized and short-lived, dissipating after sunrise.
Major travel corridors including I-275, I-75, I-4, US-19, and US-41 should see generally favorable driving conditions through midweek. Motorists traveling during the early morning hours are advised to remain alert for brief reductions in visibility where fog forms.
Humidity levels are forecast to remain comfortable, adding to the pleasant feel of the warming trend. No rain chances were highlighted in the update.
For commuters, students, and outdoor workers, the weather pattern offers ideal conditions for outdoor activities and travel, especially during afternoon hours as temperatures peak.
