Cool End To 2017 Here But Possibility Of Snow In Tampa Area Mid-Week

cool end

cool end2017 will come to a cool end in South Florida on Sunday as we start to feel some of the effects of the chill that’s affecting much of the country. But at least we’ll be snow-free, unlike central Florida (including the Tampa area), that could see some flakes as a strong front moves in. Here at home, our rather chilly and foggy start on Sunday will give way to a mix of good sun and clouds on the breeze. A moderate risk of dangerous rip currents continues at the Atlantic beaches. Highs on Sunday will be in the low to mid 70s. New Year’s Eve will be dry but cool by midnight.

New Year’s Day will feature sun and clouds to start, and then we’ll see showers as a front approaches. Monday’s highs will be in the mid 70s, with slightly warmer readings near the coast.

Tuesday morning will be chilly, and we’ll see clouds, showers, and some periods of sun during the day. Tuesday’s highs will be in the low 70s.

Wednesday will feature clouds, lingering showers, and a bit of sun. Wednesday’s highs will be in the low 70s.

Look for good sun, a few clouds, and a chilly breeze on Thursday. Highs on Thursday will top out in the wintry upper 60s.
