SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) – Although the afternoon will be warmer than yesterday, tonight will be the coolest of the week. High pressure still dominates our weather and is located to our west, directing the winds to the north. This will funnel drier air into the Suncoast over the next couple of days. Daytime temperatures will rise by a degree or two each day. However, with the dry air, morning low temperatures will drop by a degree or two, and tonight will be the coldest night of the week. As winds shift southward over the weekend, humidity will increase and morning lows will rise. Our afternoon highs will also rise into the upper 70s by Friday.
The second front of the week will arrive late Friday with very little fanfare. Winds will pick up a bit and temperatures will drop a few degrees, but precipitation will be minimal. The majority of the energy with the system pulling the front across the Suncoast will be to the north, where it will become a major source of rain for the Atlantic coast. For us, it will be 20% to 30% rain on Friday afternoon or evening. After the front passes, weekend temperatures will drop a few degrees and more dry air will spread over the area over the weekend.
