Tampa at 71.2 Late Monday, and the Feed Puts a Light-Rain Code Back on Election Day at 81.1
The last feed of Election Eve changes Tuesday's picture again: a light-rain code returns for Election Day, and Wednesday cools sharply to 81.2 with the week's second-best rain chance.
Tampa closes Election Eve at 71.2 degrees, feeling like 75.5 under a mostly cloudy sky, at the end of a Monday that topped out at 75.2 and carried an 83 percent precipitation reading with a heavy-rain code on the station's live Open-Meteo feed.
Election Day's forecast moved again in the late feed. Where the 7 p.m. file had restored a mostly-cloudy code, the late-night feed codes Tuesday 61 - light rain - with a high of 81.1, a low of 70.9 and the precipitation chance at 34 percent. For voters heading to Hillsborough's assigned precincts between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., that reads as a warm day with passing light rain possible rather than a washout - worth a jacket in the line, not a change of plans.
Wednesday changed the most. The feed now holds Wednesday at 81.2 degrees under a light-rain code with a 56 percent precipitation chance, down from the 86.6 in the evening file. The heat returns Thursday at 87.2 and mostly cloudy, then the weekend settles: 86.0 Friday, 83.5 Saturday and 80.2 Sunday, with rain chances back in the single digits to low teens.
