TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Temperatures Sunday morning will drop into the upper 70s with lots of sunshine. Storms will arrive after 2 p.m. and move toward the coast with the best chance of rain arriving in the later afternoon and evening here in the Tampa Bay Area. Highs will once again rise to the lower 90s.
Scattered storms continue to arrive during the early afternoon and evening hours on Tuesday as this pattern will stay with us through Thursday. Lows will remain in the upper 70s with highs in the low 90s.
Tropical wave has ‘medium chance’ of development this week, NHC says
A front lingers to our north late in the week which means storms could arrive earlier starting on Friday and lasting into next weekend as highs remain near average, in the low 90s.
There are a couple of areas we are watching in the tropics . One in the northern Gulf isn’t expected to strengthen as it brings rain to the Texas coast.
The other tropical wave we will watch closely as it is expected to develop into a depression sometime next week as it moves through the Caribbean. Forecast models take this system into the Gulf, but it appears to stay away from Florida.
