TAMPA, Fla. – Dawn breaks warm and still across the Bay Area this Saturday, a golden haze reflecting over Tampa Bay as the region wakes to another stretch of late-fall heat. Though breezy at times, the weekend will stay mostly dry and pleasant before a weak front nudges in early next week, bringing a slim chance of showers and a mild cooldown ahead of Halloween week.
According to the National Weather Service in Ruskin, Saturday will climb to near 87°F under sunny skies, with east winds gusting up to 20 mph. The breeze will make beaches choppy and push pollen around inland neighborhoods, but conditions remain otherwise ideal for outdoor plans or coastal drives along I-275 and U.S. 19.
Sunday stays mostly sunny with highs again in the upper 80s — unseasonably warm for late October — before clouds begin to build Monday as moisture drifts in from the Gulf. A few brief showers are possible after 2 p.m. Monday, though most areas will remain dry. Any rainfall will be light, under a tenth of an inch, and confined to western Pinellas and Hillsborough counties.
By Tuesday, slightly cooler and drier air filters in, holding highs in the low 80s with lower humidity. The rest of the week trends mild and calm — perfect for Halloween decorating, outdoor events, or evening football games.
