Cold Nights, Cool Days Ahead for the Beaches

Expect some near-freezing temperature overnight on Thursday and a few cooler days before things start to heat up again.

Grab those jackets and pull out an extra blanket from the linen closest – yesterday's cold temperatures were just a taste of what’s in store for the Beaches over the next few days.

According to the National Weather Service, Beach residents should brace for a few more chilly days ahead before things start to warm up again going into the weekend.

Things do start to heat up as the weekend progresses. Look for highs in the lower 70s and lows in the mid-40s through Monday.

Rain isn’t in the forecast over the next few days, but the dry, gusty conditions have caused the National Weather Service to issue a Red Flag Warning for the entire Tampa Bay area through 7 p.m. Jan. 31. This type of warning is issued when conditions are favorable for the rapid spread of wildfires in an area.
