high level clouds across the region. today not beautiful bright blue skies but still a lovely afternoon. high temperatures today in the mid 80s for just about everybody. slightly cooler right there by the coast where we do expect a little sea breeze circulation to develop giving us an on shore flow at the beaches and see the winds out of the south and south west painting a few isolated showers. i don't think we are going to see any rain today. as we head into saturday about a 10% chance but most of us won't see any rain at all. for this evening nice and mild for your plans if you are headed out for dinner going see a movie you won't even need a jacket or sweater. overnight 69 degrees. midnight your boating forecast seas two to four feet bay waters a moderate chop today and another great event. the music festival temperatures in the low 80s partly cloudy skies warm and dry in downtown tampa. i'll actually be out there
