11:17 pm
wildlife park for treatment. abc action weather. >> i understand we might have another cold front on the way and maybe some more wind. >> yeah, sometimes you think it's the rain. not going to be the rain. the wind is going to howl. i'm talking about winds 35, 40 miles per hour. look at the picture. you can see the camera shaking right now. showers. right now you can see across northern pinellas county. right now just to the east of odessa, over back toward the beach to holiday and not to downtown tampa. this rain continues to move off to the east, southeast. so there's definitely a chance for showers tomorrow for the wake up but i don't think it's going to cause much headache for travel. the morning low and the wind
11:18 pm
going to be something different. right now temperatures in the 60s but these winds are up to tropical storm force. there's a warn tonight. so you put that together, we're talking wind chills in the morning in the 30s and 40s and i think a freeze is a pretty good bet later on this week. outside right now skies remain mostly cloudy. 64 at the airport in tampa. the winds continue to gust out of the west northwest. so this is what you will be waking up tomorrow. considering what we have seen that's not unusual for us but it will feel colder than this, especially closer to the coast. if you live say east of i-75, you are not going to have nearly the wind that everyone else will closer to the beach. then on wednesday afternoon we only warm up to around 50.
11:19 pm
will see a freeze across our northern counties. citrus, hernando, maybe eastern pasco with a chance of a little bit of frost and later on wednesday we only warm up into the mid-50s and thursday probably a better chance of a frost or potentially a freeze. by 11:00 temperatures will be down to the 40s. so bottom line, we're not going to see temperatures where we should be. so we'll continue to track this rain overnight. as i said, i don't think it's going to be much of an issue, just kind of a nuisance with winds, cold and drizzle out there. by the time you get into the afternoon hours then we see a break. after all the clouds we had on saturday and then by later on tuesday night into wednesday, more of the same. nice stiff wind out of the
11:20 pm
at times, maybe a sprinkle and slowly but surely i think those winds will start to subside. means a much better chance of a freeze. that's what i'm going for wednesday night. gail warnings in effect, northwest winds tomorrow at 25 knots. seas 10 to 14 feet and if you are going to the beach, there will be a significant rip tide issued so remember that. your tides, your sunrise and your sunset. afternoon high of 58 degrees. most accurate 7 day forecast. rain chances only about 20% tomorrow and the rest of the week looks good, but it looks cold, action news at 11:00
