The coverage however will be less than the past few mornings. Lows will be in the mid 70s inland and near 80 at the coast.
Due to recent heavy rains river levels will be running higher. In particular the Withlacoochee and Hillsborough River will likely go up in the next 24 hours due to heavier rains on those basin areas.
The scattered showers and storms will again have an eastward movement Friday, but they will move slower than they have recently. By the late afternoon to evening most of the storms will end up east of I-75 and tend to die down over inland areas. Highs will top out in the low 90s.
