ssts off tampa are in the mid 70s,,sarasota near 77 Clearwater 76 Cedar key 74... They were about 4 dg warmer before the front went thru....I expect them to drop another 2-3 dg over the next 2-3 days then level off over the weekend then after the next big trough comes thru next week,,drop below 70......for now, expect water temps to go down to the low 70s by the weekend.

Anything that does develop in the Carribean will move slowly at first due to the strong ridge over the eastern U.S. late this week....then the high moves off the coast.. Another big trough digs down and again any system that is down there will move N then NE....Way too early to tell exact path.
