The warm, dry trend has settled in and will last for the extended forecast. Tampa's climate normal for this time of year is 54°/73°. Our highs will hover around 8-10 degrees above average all the way into next weekend. We also need some rain, but rain chances are very low through the next 10 days. Much of the area is in a moderate drought and it looks like we're front free through next week.

A Weather Impact Alert has been issued for tonight due to Fog moving back into the Bay area. It will push inland overnight and be thickest for the Friday morning commute. Prepare for a slower than normal morning commute so plan for extra time and remember to slow down and allow extra space between cars. Stay safe!

Breaking waves are coming towards shore, a rip current is moving away. Here's a great link from @NOAA ->
