As we move away from a stagnant weather pattern, Sarasota residents can anticipate a shift to more dynamic atmospheric conditions. Starting today, a series of cold fronts is expected to bring about significant weather changes across the Suncoast area.
Today’s Weather Outlook
The day will begin with typical hot and sunny conditions but expect the appearance of building afternoon clouds as a cold front moves southward. This front may trigger a few showers or an isolated thunderstorm. Despite the potential for rain, most of the day will remain hot and breezy, accompanied by a humid southwest wind. By late evening, expect the clouds to thicken, increasing the chances of overnight showers.
Forecast for Tomorrow and Beyond
The weather will clear up by early tomorrow as winds shift to the northwest, signaling that the cold front has moved past. This transition will bring in drier air, setting the stage for a pleasant Mother’s Day. Sunday promises to be warm but more comfortable with significantly lower humidity and no expected rainfall.
Looking Ahead: Next Week’s Forecast
The likelihood of rain increases by Tuesday when an area of low pressure dives southward into the nearby Gulf waters. This system is predicted to spread rain and thunderstorms across north and central Florida, with the potential for significant rainfall depending on the system’s exact path. While it’s too early to determine which parts of west Florida will receive the most rain, current models suggest that north Florida could be most affected, followed by southwest Florida.
As the week progresses, the cold front associated with this low pressure area is expected to stall over the Suncoast, resulting in several days of good chances for rain.
