South Florida, Tampa Bay Weather: Storms Threaten Weekend Plans

A stalled front is the primary cause of the expected storms in South Florida. This front is predicted to bring multiple rounds of thunderstorms, with the heaviest activity initially moving in from the north. While the intensity of the storms may taper off as the system approaches the Keys, residents should still be prepared for heavy downpours and possible lightning. In Tampa Bay, a cold front is moving in, bringing with it a line of showers and storms. Although the severe weather threat is low, the heavy rain could lead to localized flooding, especially in areas with poor drainage. The storms are expected to move south around midday, with conditions improving in the afternoon. The presence of Saharan dust later in the week may decrease rain chances somewhat, but pop-up storms will remain a possibility throughout hurricane season.
