Friday cold front on the way

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - Highs are in the 70s, with a few 80s farther inland (again). By Friday, a cold front moves across Florida with a few afternoon and evening showers possible. Even after this front moves away, this time our highs could hold in the 70s, keeping the Suncoast the warmest part of the U.S.

Winds will pick up Friday and even stronger winds out of the Northeast Saturday. Drier air returns Friday afternoon, so our chance for foggy mornings evaporates for several days.

Only Siesta Key Beach reported a slight respiratory irritation from red tide Wednesday afternoon. The rest of our Suncoast beaches reported no irritation, but this does change from day to day. The highest concentrations are farther south near Fort Myers.
