10 Weather: Cool, crisp and windy for the first day of spring!

The first day of spring is feeling more like winter.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It's the first day of Spring, but it's not feeling like it with much cooler and windy conditions.

Tuesday is the Spring Equinox, otherwise known as the first day of Spring! After several weeks of warmer temperatures, get out the layers and jackets because Spring is starting off feeling more like Winter behind our cold front. The Tampa Bay area also has a very active pattern ahead that feels like a battle between Spring and Winter. 

Tuesday: A shock to the system is in store for us as we have been running 10 degrees above normal, but we have much cooler temperatures! Now that the front has pushed past our area, drier and cooler air is settling in and temperatures will run 10 degrees below normal.  Highs struggle into the upper 60s with lows dropping into the lower 50s with chilly breezes.

Wednesday & Thursday: The middle of this week looks drier and quiet. High pressure will give way to plenty of sunshine and temperatures will rebound back to the 80s gradually.

Friday: The next disturbance comes to the Tampa Bay area and brings potentially 80% of rain with more humid conditions.
