Tampa Weather Today: Get Ready for Slow-Moving Downpours

Before you leave the house this morning, don’t forget to bring an umbrella with you. This afternoon, our rain chance rises to 70%.

There is enough tropical moisture present to produce heavy rain, and the prevailing winds will be mild. Storms that form may hover over locations for an extended period of time.

And if it doesn’t rain, it will be hot and humid, with highs in the low 90s.

Storms increase in the afternoon tomorrow as well. This time, the breeze off the Gulf of Mexico will allow the downpours to drift inland during the later afternoon and taper off in the evening.

Watch for a few morning showers on Sunday. The rain chance is 50% with highs still in the low 90s.

The breeze from the Gulf of Mexico sticks around for Monday and Tuesday, so earlier showers are possible on those days as well.
