Cold front brings Florida fall to Tampa Bay

• A cold front swept through yesterday, pushing down temperatures through the day and overnight, National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Close told Axios.
• It all culminated in this glorious morning of breezy, window-opening sweater weather.

Context: It's a good thing, too, because we're coming off "Tampa Bay's most oppressive summer on record," as WFLA's Jeff Beradelli put it.

• Tampa saw the most consecutive days in history in which temperatures didn't fall under 70 degrees, Close said.
• The 163-day streak ended with Hurricane Milton. The previous record was 155 days in 2018.

What's next: It'll warm up this weekend, Close said — but not quite to summer levels. Highs will be in the mid-80s, and the breeze is sticking around.
