Tampa Bay should expect dropping temperatures as a cold front makes its way through the area on Wednesday.
Here's the latest from ABC Action News Meteorologist Greg Dee:
You won't immediately feel the impacts of the cold front today. The morning will be very mild with temperatures in the 70s. We'll see cloudy skies and a few sct'd showers. Rain chances will stick around through midday though it will definitely not rain most of that time.
Showers will begin to move to the east by early afternoon as a cold front sweeps through the region later today. As the front approaches, highs will reach around 80. Don't expect a sudden temperature drop, however. The biggest temperature drop will happen overnight.
Thursday, most towns will be in the 50s in the morning, with some upper 40s possible away from the water. We'll see beautiful sunny skies all day, but the temperatures will stay cool, in the 60s. Winds will be gusty at times.
The cooler, much drier air will stay through the weekend. Our coldest temperatures will likely be on Saturday and Sunday morning when most towns start in the 40s and even some upper 30s away from the water and north of I-4.
We'll warm up again next week with highs likely above 80 degrees for Thanksgiving Day.
A state report says hundreds of frail elderly nursing home residents were stacked side by side, head to toe in a small church with no working air conditioning or refrigerator during Hurricane Helene.
