TAMPA, Fla. – Cooler, drier air is on its way to Florida, just a week after Hurricane Milton brought widespread heavy rain and wind to the Tampa Bay area.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says the cold front will be a dry system over land during the first fall and possible showers will remain over open water.

On Wednesday, windy conditions will increase throughout the day, making it feel even cooler Thursday morning, according to Mills.

How cold will it be?

Thursday is expected to be the coldest morning for the Bay Area since March, with lows in the 50s in many places.

Afternoon high temperatures will remain in the upper 70s in parts of the Bay Area on Wednesday, with Thursday expected to be the coolest morning since March. Lows will be in the 50s across much of the region, Mills said.

Afternoon highs will fall to the upper 70s near 80, with lows in the 50s through Thursday as a cold front moves across Florida.

The high temperature on Thursday will be around 80 degrees before we warm back up, returning to the mid 80s and staying dry in time for the weekend.

Humidity will also drop significantly and dew points will drop significantly in the coming days.

The cold front moving into Florida will bring much drier air and there will be a sharp drop in dew points for the rest of the week.

What does the cold front mean for the tropics?

The National Hurricane Center has been monitoring two disturbances since Wednesday morning.

The NHC is also monitoring a disturbance near Central America that has a 20 percent chance of developing in the next week. As it develops, it will likely turn westward and stay away from the U.S. mainland
