Tampa Halloween Saturday Turns Warm at 87, With Sunday Rain Odds Jumping to 70 Percent
The station's live feed put Tampa at 74.9 degrees before dawn Saturday, on the way to a Halloween high near 87 — before Sunday cools to 79 with the weekend's highest rain chance.
Halloween Saturday starts warm in Tampa and gets warmer. The station's live weather feed early Saturday showed 74.9 degrees, feeling like 79.6 under overcast skies, on the way to a daytime high of 87.1 and a low of 74.4, with precipitation odds at 18 percent under a rain code — a warm, mostly manageable Halloween for daytime events and evening trick-or-treating, with a shower possible.
Sunday is the turn. The feed puts Sunday's high at 79.1 and its low at 69.3, with precipitation odds jumping to 70 percent — up from the 60 percent the feed carried overnight — under a rain code. That is the same wet Sunday sitting over the Buccaneers' 1 p.m. home game and the USF Bulls' stretch-run weekend at Raymond James Stadium, and it arrives on the morning clocks fall back an hour.
The unsettled pattern lingers into the workweek before it eases. Monday's high on the feed is 76.0 with precipitation odds at 42 percent, Tuesday rebounds to 84.4 with odds down to 22 percent, and the rest of the week on the feed stays in the low-to-mid 80s with smaller rain chances — a classic late-October Tampa swing from summer warmth to a cooler, wetter Sunday and back again.
