ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Our pattern is changing and it will lead to a cloudier stretch with breezy conditions and daily rain chances. 

While the increase in wind will not be ideal for boating over the next few days, the rain showers will be great for our lawns! Also, some of the cloudiness and showery weather may make it a bit more cozy to stay inside. 

Thursday morning will start off with more clouds than sun. A stray shower or sprinkle can’t be ruled out. It will turn breezy as temperatures climb into the mid 80s.

Rain chances increase a little by Friday as a cold front approaches. Highs will range from the 70s north to low 80s south of I-4. It will be breezy on Friday. 

The front stalls nearby and this will lead to rain chances lingering into Saturday but it will not be a washout. Temperatures will max out near 80 degrees. 

Easter Sunday will be breezy with a 20 percent chance of rain. 

Rain chances increase next week ahead of another front and breezy conditions will continue through much of next week.
