Tampa, FL – Florida’s unseasonably warm weather continues through the weekend with near-record low overnight temperatures in the Tampa Bay area. On Saturday, temperatures are expected to top out around 88 degrees, while evening lows will remain unusually high near 70. This warm stretch has already broken records, as several locations across the region experienced record minimum temperatures Thursday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

The warm trend will extend into the coming days, with conditions remaining mostly dry. According to the NWS, Saturday’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with temperatures near 88 degrees and light east winds reaching 6 to 9 mph. Saturday night will remain warm, with partly cloudy skies and an expected low around 70. Drivers and outdoor event organizers should plan for unseasonably warm conditions, especially in the evening.

Sunday will be the same, with a high around 87 degrees under mostly sunny skies. Sunday night will bring slightly cooler but still warm conditions, with a low near 71. Looking ahead to Veterans Day on Monday, a small chance for afternoon showers with a chance of thunderstorms may develop later in the day. Highs are expected to hover around 87 degrees and winds will be variable. Any outdoor Veterans Day ceremonies or parades should prepare for potential afternoon showers.

The warm weather trend is likely to extend into midweek, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-80s expected through Tuesday. For Tampa Bay residents, this unseasonable heat provides a reminder to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged sun exposure, especially during the midday hours when temperatures are at their highest.
