Feels-like temperatures around the Tampa Bay area

Some inland and northern areas in Tampa Bay are under a frost advisory and waking up to temperatures in the 30s and 40s.

But plenty of sunshine and light southeasterly winds will help highs reach near 70, according to 10Weather WTSP meteorologist Ashley Batey.

The sunshine will last throughout the week, Batey said, as a warming trend takes hold.

"We are starting a warming trend and by the time we head into Thursday, some models are even going as high as near 80," Batey said. "Though we may not get there, we will definitely be back into the mid to upper 70s."

The warm weather will remain in place during the weekend, Batey said, with highs expected to hover in the upper 70s.
