Tampa weather today is sunny and 88°F with light south-southwest winds of 2 to 9 mph—a textbook spring day that’s calling you outdoors.

This is genuinely one of those rare weekend setups where everything works in your favor. The National Weather Service forecasters are keeping high pressure locked over the area through Sunday, which means stable conditions and plenty of sunshine. If you’ve been itching to get out on the water around Clearwater or St. Pete Beach, today is your day. The light winds make for glassy conditions, and the 6% rain chance is negligible. This is prime fishing weather—bring your tackle box and plan to be out early morning or late afternoon when the bite tends to be best.

Golfers should absolutely get a round in at one of the courses around the Tampa Bay area. The 88-degree high, low humidity for late April, and clear skies make for ideal playing conditions.

Tonight & Sunday: Saturday night drops to a pleasant 68°F with mostly clear skies—perfect if you’re heading to the Romeo Santos & Prince Royce - Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour 2026 at Benchmark International Arena on Sunday evening. Sunday itself stays mostly sunny with a high near 86°F, though the National Weather Service mentions a slight 20% chance of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms in the afternoon, mainly inland away from the coast. If you’re planning to catch the 2026 NHL Playoffs RD 1: Lightning V Canadiens Home Game #3 on Wednesday at Benchmark International Arena, tailgating conditions will be warm and pleasant—grab some Official team gear on Fanatics and a portable propane grill to make the most of it.

If you’re heading to the BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ IN TAMPA at Raymond James Stadium tonight, you’re in luck—perfect concert weather with clear skies and a comfortable 88°F during the show.

The fire weather crew notes that relative humidity will hover just above critical levels through the weekend, so if you’re doing any yard work or grilling, keep an eye on conditions. The interior of the state (away from the coast) has the highest chance of isolated afternoon showers Sunday due to sea-breeze convergence, but coastal areas like Clearwater and St. Pete should stay mostly dry.

Perfect Grilling Weather: Today is made for firing up the grill. Burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob will taste incredible. Grab an instant-read meat thermometer and a grill brush and scraper set to keep your equipment in top shape. If you need ingredients, you can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.

Looking Ahead: A weak cold front moves through Monday, bringing another slight shower chance inland but drier conditions to follow. By mid-week, expect highs climbing into the low 90s with plenty of sunshine—typical early summer heat is on the way.

Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and enjoy this beautiful window. If you’re dealing with spring allergies, keep some eye drops for allergy itch relief handy while you’re outside.
