Today: Warm Easter Across Florida With Sunshine Early, Highs Near Upper 80s, and Afternoon Storm Chances East of I-75
TAMPA, FLORIDA — A warm and pleasant start to Easter Sunday is underway, with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the 60s and 70s early this morning. As the day progresses, temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 80s, with a few scattered showers and thunderstorms expected later in the day, especially east of the I-75 corridor.
Sunny Start With Comfortable Morning Temperatures
The day begins with sunshine and mild conditions, with temperatures around 69°F during the early morning hours. Clear skies and light winds are helping create a calm and comfortable start across the region. By mid-morning, temperatures will rise into the mid-70s with mostly sunny skies continuing.
Afternoon Heat Builds With Increasing Clouds
As the afternoon approaches, temperatures will climb quickly, reaching around 82°F by midday and peaking near 85 to 86°F during the mid to late afternoon hours.
Cloud cover will gradually increase, leading to partly cloudy skies through the afternoon. Despite the clouds, it will remain warm and somewhat humid.
Best Rain Chances Develop East of I-75
A few scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop later in the day, with the highest chances focused east of I-75. These storms will be isolated in nature, meaning not everyone will see rain. Any storms that form could bring brief downpours and lightning, but widespread severe weather is not expected.
Evening Stays Warm With Spotty Showers Possible
Temperatures will remain warm into the evening, holding in the mid-80s before slowly cooling after sunset. Skies will stay partly cloudy, with a slight chance of lingering showers or storms early in the evening hours.
