News Summary
Tampa Bay is gearing up for a sizzling weekend with temperatures potentially hitting 90 degrees. Saturday will bring a mix of clouds and sun, while Sunday sees a calmer breeze.

Residents are advised to stay informed about severe weather risks affecting the broader region this weekend.
Tampa Bay Readies for a Steamy Weekend with a Twist!
Tampa Bay residents, brace yourselves! A particularly hot weekend is on the horizon, but don’t put away your umbrellas just yet. Temperatures are set to soar this Saturday, with predictions indicating highs around 90 degrees, which could land Tampa in the running for a record-breaking day for this date. Yup, it’s going to be a scorcher!
Saturday’s Sizzle
As you stroll into the weekend, expect Saturday morning to greet you with a pleasant mix of clouds and sunshine, along with temperatures hovering in the comfy 60s and low 70s. But by the afternoon, things will heat up, quite literally! The temperature will jump, and you might find yourself sweating alongside the sizzling sunshine.
Feeling the Breeze on Sunday
Now, Sunday doesn’t have quite the same intense feel as Saturday, with high temperatures cooling just a bit to the upper 80s. Thanks to a stronger breeze blowing in from the Gulf, areas west of I-75 might stay snugly below the 90-degree mark, making it a more manageable day for venturing outdoors. But don’t get too comfortable just yet, because stormy weather may be lurking around the corner!
Turbulent Times Ahead
Looking ahead, Monday arrives with a sunny start. But here comes the twist! Cloud coverage is set to ramp up as the day progresses, and those warm, sunny vibes might just get replaced by some evening rain. As temperatures drop a little and clouds fill the sky, don’t forget your raincoats as showers are expected to roll in after dark. This rain could continue into Tuesday morning, giving the region a refreshing rinse.
Typical April Weather Returns
After the rain makes its mark, cooler weather is expected to take over. Tuesday should see highs reduce to the pleasant 70s, with subsequent days lingering in the low 80s, which is right around the typical April temperatures we often expect here in Tampa. Just in time too, as the overnight temps will drop into the 50s and 60s throughout the upcoming week—definitely a shift from those sweltering daytime highs!
Weather Woes for the Region
Keep an Eye Out for Stormy Skies
The worst of the severe weather is anticipated to land north and west of the Bay Area, but there’s a marginal risk that some brewing storms could still swing through Tampa. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph on Sunday morning, signaling a change in the storm’s intensity. Although rain might hold off for most of the day on Sunday, evening hours could see those clouds bursting with downpours.
Final Thoughts
In summary, it’s shaping up to be a weekend of contrasting weather for Tampa Bay. From those sweltering highs to potential evening storms, don’t forget to stay vigilant and enjoy the sunshine responsibly! Whether you choose to soak up the rays or prepare for the weather shift, remember to keep your spirits high and your umbrellas handy!
