there's rain going on in northern citrus county and everybody else especially east of i-75 well into the 80s and side of polk county compared to what we had closer to the beach which was still in the mid to upper 70s which is where we're supposed to be this time of the year. the forecast is low to mid 60s akros the northern counties and there will be fog first thing in the morning. outside now, tampa checking in at 79 degrees. humidity at 64%. the dew point still high. the magic number we look at in the summertime is when the dew point is 70 or higher it's sticky and you can feel it. when it's only march it makes you wonder how summer will be. the morning low only dropped to 70 this morning. 75 in saint pete. 13 miles per hour. sarasota, mostly sunny and 76 degrees. the overwhelming majority of rain stays to the north. there's that one area we have to keep our eyes on. the models are saying it's not going to make it here. the majority of the rain from ocala and gainesville. warm day with sun and clouds. maybe a few showers. saturday is the day that i'm more concerned about with outdoo

most of the showers south of the front itself with a little area here developing just north of citrus county. you can see it on the max radar pushing these showers toward county. the bulk of the heavier stuff bayonet point. that is north of the that line there, should clip the north and central part of citrus county. now. but not many as you can see. that is the location of crystal river there. west to east. again, the rpm forecast computer model you are looking at here, mostly dry. but again, northern spots this evening, maybe a few showers associated with that line of showers there. less fog in the forecast for tonight. we had thick fog this morning in many areas. for the afternoon, a couple of late day showers. maybe a few extra clouds for us. an area of low pressure scooting along the boundary. as i meninged most of the cloudy skies, muggy. showers, possible storms. on and off through the day. hard to time them at this point. but we may see morning showers definitely later in the evenining into the early part of sunday looks to be the timing at the moment. this particular computer model

few hours or so but mainly the northern counties with the rain chances for tonight. in citrus, hernando county, about a 30% chance of rain for the evening but as you head south, the rain chances fade away and likely a mostly dry night for you. here's the set-up. but as we head into the overninight hour, any showers around are going to dissipate. and it will be mostly dry overnight tonight. and tomorrow morning, less fog for the morning commute. i know that is a welcomed sight. so just clouds to start off today. and it will be warm already and we will heat back up into the low 80s for friday afternoon. and we will try a couple showers around but generally with the front to the north, most of the rain will probably stay in north florida and south georgia but with the extra moisture, you can't rule out showers and the increasing morning. beginning the day on saturday, around. extra clouds through the day. temperatures stay warm near 80 but ahead of the front, pretty y much through the day, looking at a chance of rain. and as we get closer, hopefully it will pin point and people w

not moving south but it's moving across the state so if you live in northern citrus county you have an outside chance of showers and there's one shower north east of hernando. tomorrow the front gets closer. little pieces of energy drawing nearer and when they do, that bumps up the rain chance. best chance is saturday. sunday things clear out. upper 80s right now across the interior counties. this isn't record breaking but it's pretty darn close as we see normally this time of year 76 in beach is noticeably cooler than everyone else. tampa checking in with sunny skies and 79. that's the at the airport. the airport is close to the bay so any time you get a flow coming in off the water that can cool off the airport as opposed to anywhere east of that. clearwater and saint pete in the mid to upper 70s. the rain up north is lingering but if you're planning anything outdoors tonight for saint patrick's day, there's going to be a lot going on as there always is and the weather will be fine even though there's showers to the north. tomorrow the front lingers again but still more sun than clou
