A cold front has moved through the area and temperatures will continue to drop through Wednesday night.

Overnight and into Thursday morning, temperatures will drop to the mid to upper 50s around Tampa Bay, with some upper 40s to low 50s possible to the north.

Our typical first low below 60 degrees occurs in Tampa on October 23rd, which is a little earlier than planned. We will also drop at least a few degrees below 60.

If we manage to get to 56 degrees in Tampa, it will be the coolest temperatures since March 21 and the earliest 56 degrees since 2009.

Some areas of far northern Florida could see low 40s early Thursday morning.

Expect plenty of sunshine and low humidity Thursday with afternoon temperatures in the mid to upper 70s.

Humidity will remain low and mornings and evenings will remain cooler throughout the weekend.

A stiff breeze will blow from the northeast until early next week.
