Spring Is Back In The Air, For Now

TAMPA - It looks like spring will give us one more shot of nice weather before we start our long summer simmer.
A front that drifted over north Florida and southern Georgia on Sunday should usher some dry and slightly cooler air over the Tampa Bay area Monday, the National Weather Service said.
The real change should be Tuesday morning when forecasts call for temperatures to be in the high 50s around Tampa and in the high 40s in Hernando County.
That's a significant swing from mornings that have hovered in the high 60s or low 70s with a distinctly humid feel.
The lower temperatures also could produce some fog about dawn on Tuesday that could linger an hour or so after sunrise.
Even the high temperature expected Monday will be down to the lower 80s, a shift of close to 10 degrees from the past days.
Humidity will be decidedly lower through Monday and Monday night.
But it won't last long. Temperatures and humidity will begin climbing a bit on Tuesday, though the morning low for Wednesday should be slightly cooler than what we've been seeing.
By Wednesday afternoon temperatures and humidity should be back to the near summertime levels and stay there through the weekend.

What a fool! There are 6 seasons which are apparent to anyone who pays attention.
Springtime - early Feb when the temps first reach 80 and the Azaleas begin to bloom.
Pre rainy season Summer - Mid May until Mid June - It can get to be the hottest weeks of the year but still very dry
Summer Tropical Rainey season - Mid June until Mid September - Temperaturdes rarely get higher than 92 often averaging below 90 during the day and only dropping to upper 70s at night with high humidity and daily popcorn thunderstorms.
Tropical Storm season interludes - this is not a season as much as a peculiar feel and fragrance to the air when a tropical disturbance is near. A wonderful feel to it.
Late Summer Heat Season - Mid Sep to Early October until the first cold fronts come through - Summer stroms go away and the skies clear and it dries out but gets hotter since the afternoons are no longer cloudy.
Florida Fall - Mid Oct until Jan - gorgeous weather with regular cold fronts and peak color for leaves occuring at the New Year. Not as colorful as up north but if you know where to look you can find great color.
Winter - End of Dec to Mid Feb - Gorgeous days of much sunshine and a nip in the air and the chance of a freeze. Different flowers bloom in the winter and the air has a crisp fragrance.
Learn to enjoy our seasons. They are more subtle but they are wonderful.
