Drier, Sunnier Weekend on Tap for the Beaches
Forecasters are calling for fairly low chances of rain and slightly cooler temperatures.
The afternoon doom and gloom that has plagued the beaches weather most of the summer looks like it just might take the weekend off.
That’s the word from the National Weather Service’s Ruskin office as drier and slightly cooler weather is predicted for the Tampa Bay area.
“We’re looking for a good weekend,” said meteorologist Rodney Wynn. “(It should be) a lot drier throughout Florida.”
