TAMPA - Even as you read this, fall finally is approaching, easing down the state for an arrival in the Tampa Bay area around sundown.

The season's first noticeably cool weather will be securely in place by Friday morning, when temperatures at Tampa International Airport should be in the middle 60s and near 60 inland.

For people in Hernando County, where the drier air along with the season's first cool front already arrived, Friday morning should be in the lower 50s.

"Now it feels like fall," said Rick Davis, National Weather Service meteorologist in Ruskin.

The daytime high temperatures should push into the middle 80s, but much of the cloying humidity will be gone so the afternoons won't seem as hot.

Forecasters expect the relative humidity to be about 30 percent Friday and less than 40 percent in the afternoon during the weekend, compared with more than 50 percent earlier this week.
"People will notice that right away," Davis said.

The first few cool fronts of the season don't linger, he said. The good weather should last through the weekend; then humidity will begin to creep back in and temperatures rise by the middle of the week.
