ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- This evening there will be some lingering slow-moving thunderstorms.

  • Few showers near coast this morning
  • Storms to develop inland this afternoon
  • Highs in the low 90s

Overnight, a stray shower or storm is possible.

It will be very warm, muggy with light winds and lows in the upper 70s to low 80s.

The area of high pressure in the Gulf of Mexico will drift west on Sunday. This will slightly increase the onshore winds.  Storms will be able to start early along the coast, then move inland throughout the afternoon. The rain chance will be 40%.  Storms will have a little more movement inland compared to today. Highs will again be from 90 near the coast to low 90s inland.  Skies will be partly sunny with high clouds filling in during the afternoon.

The westerly wind pattern will be reinforced during the work week, as a cold front settles into the southeast U.S.

Morning storms along the coast will move inland in the afternoon for the work week.

Monday will be partly sunny to mostly cloudy. High clouds will fill in during the afternoon again. The rain chance will be 40%. A few showers and storms will be around the coast in the morning. Storms will build inland in the afternoon.

Temperatures will slide down a degree or two with the increased onshore flow.  Highs will be in the upper 80s to low 90s for Monday.

A cold front becomes stationary in Southern Georgia.

So the southwest flow picks up a little for the rest of the week. There will be somewhat of a breeze. Storms are likely to move faster and temperatures will be in the upper 80s to around 90. However, lows will remain in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees.

In the midweek, increasing moisture will increase our storm coverage to 50% on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rainfall coverage may drop toward the end of the work week for Tampa Bay and south. Southwest winds will continue.
