clear both in clearwater and in st. petersburg. there's the satellite. you can see all the cloud cover. socked in. rain going on down south into the keys, and some of that cloud cover spreading in 42 the gulf. i don't think it brings us anything although overnight there will be more clouds than clearing skies, although by cover. so we will say partly sunny skies to be optimistic for your friday morning, but, yes, we are going to be warmer than normal but at least we will see more sun than clouds. i think that trend continues right into the weekend. so the weather looks great for the usf-navy game. the weather looks great for the bucs game against the raiders. it is just going to be unusually warm. right back in the mid, maybe even upper 80s across the area, but more sunshine an start saying we could use some rain. it is going to be that dry. it's been dry for a week, and i don't see any measurable rain for the next 10 to 14 days. so the good news is, with these kind of temperatures, you are going to be able to go to the beach, get your outdoor work done,

petersburg has a 78. clearwater, palm harbor both at 81 degrees. brooksville at 82. along with dade city and wesley chapel then you head down to our south temperatures generally running in the mid 80s. down into hardee, de soto and highlands county. we watch high pressure. that is going to basically start to go away as this cold front swings down into the southeast as it does so going to pick up this system here. this is invest 99. hurricane recognizance plane is actually flying out there. took off about half an hour to 45 minutes ago. so they are en route to that system see if we actually have some sort of tropical and a does not matter for us, because as this cold will scoop it up move away from us. you can see scarred showers along frontal boundary by time front gets down over us moisture is done. we will see few scattered clouds. winds turn more towards the north you can see by saturday morning 62 degrees and even cooler as we get into sunday. 58 here in tampa. lower 50s across the northern part of our viewing area. for today just a few clouds around, daytime hig

clearwater st. petersburg, sarasota and venice. state-wide. low to mid 60s across i-10 close to 80 degrees really not much has changed. it's very interesting the way it is set up. because you get this warming wind. holding back sea breeze. couple degrees warmer now than we were yesterday at this time. but it also keeps the humidity in check. when i say in check, i mean in the moderate category. we go down to parts of south florida, and it's like summertime all over again from miami to the keys. they are in lower 70s for dew points. we're sitting in the mid 60s. and with this northeast whipped, through the weekend, we're going to stay that way. reason that we have all of this cloud cover has to do with this. this little upper low sitting kind of spinning out here over the gulf. not projected to become anything significant. but what happens is it gives us a west to southwest winds in the middle mid levels of the atmosphere. so that's why we're not goat getting low, low, low clouds. they are a little bit higher. and because they are higher. we ge

petersburg has an 81. clearwater 83 degrees. generally low to mid 80s throughout interior and sarasota, you're currently sitting at 86 degrees. so that high pressure that basically locked into our north over the several days still right there. going to continue with that easterly wind. we're watching the cold front, back to our northwest. that's the one that's going to come racing down across the southeast. and that will nice welcome change across the state. also going to help to protect us. because right here, this is invest 99. now still question on if anything will develop with this. if it's a tropical system, or a sub tropical system or maybe even stays a nontropical system. but regardless of what happens with it, that front working its way into the southeast will keep that away from us. so just nudge it on to north and the east as we go through the computer models have been at least indicating somethings going to try and develop. but notice, basically keeps it out over water. moving to the east of the u.s. and eventually ou
