Good friday morning 8 13. Look, temperatures are great. Upper 60s for the most part. Tampa actually dropped back to 69 degrees sitting at 70 all morning long. Still a few lower 70s. Clearwater st. Petersburg, sarasota and venice. Statewide. Low to mid 60s across i10 close to 80 degrees really not much has changed. Its 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 its like summertime all over again from miami to the keys. They are in lower 70s for dew points. Were sitting in the mid 60s. And with this northeast whipped, through the weekend, were 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 thats why were not goat getting low, low, low clouds. They are a little bit higher. And because they are higher. We get the sun to filter through those. So were getting our cloud kek and our northeasterly winds at the surface or warming us up. End result to all of this same weather different day. 85 degrees for a High Temperature for today. With filtered sunshine and that warmth for you to want. Well go back to partly cloudy skies. Mild conditions. 70 for overnight low right along the coast but you will inland and north mid 60s or so. Should nice little sunset too the 6 fraif. High temperature around 86 degrees. The extended marine forecast, does call for moderate chop all weekend long. Small craft advisories drop for coastal waters. But then as you go well off to your 20 miles plus thats where little choppy. 2 03 our high tide for later this afternoon. And then the next seven days we will show no rain chances to speak of highs in 80s low to mid to upper 60s. Vanessa.
