pete. 69 in pinellas park. still holding onto 70 at land o'lakes. it won't be such a fast fall tonight on the temperatures. nice and clear as you can see around wesley chapel. on the sky 10 network and the whole state pretty much cleared out. jut a few fair weather clouds over i-95 and the panhandle. as we are talking about the next system starting to wind up, it will be an interesting middle of the week. at least the short term forecast is very tranquil. we'll come back with that low in south texas for a moment. for your evening plans, not as cold or as quickly does it cool off as temperatures just slowly fall through the 50s. we'll be seeing the 40s or the 30s both for the evening or the morning temperatures around the bay area. now, pasco, hernando and citrus county, it will still be in the 40s. but compared to this morning, that will be about 15 to 17 degrees warmer than monday morning. quite a nice difference. good looking day too for your tuesday. anything you want to get done, light winds, sunny skies off and o i see some clouds streaming in
