Could see record high temperatures this weekend. Rain chances are really dropping on Saturday. Hope you have a great weekend.
Uh Houston, we have a problem. Not the greatest of shots from our Rivergate Tower Cam.

That's pretty much it for the night. The weekend will be hotter and drier. Rain chances drop to around 20%. Heat Advisories will be needed both Saturday and Sunday. (Probably Monday as well)

Heavy rains and lots of lightning yet again moving through the area over the next 90 minutes.

And so it begins (again) Storms are all moving West toward the coast.

Tied a record high in Tampa today hitting 96 degrees. Heat Advisories will be needed this weekend.

Scattered evening storms and then another stretch of hot and (mostly) dry weather into the weekend.
Showers and storms just beginning to pop up again. Anything that develops will eventually make its way back to the coast.

Well, the Clearwater Threshers game was rained out. BOOOOO. Looks like my daughter Ryan will get another chance to sing the national anthem sometime in August. I'll let you know the date when I find out. (Sounds like it's a fireworks game on a Saturday night!)

Still 10%. VERY similar to what we tracked last week. Rainmaker for the Northern Gulf coast but that's about it.

Radar Update: Moderate rains still falling across part of the area. Heaviest rains are North of I-4.

Heavy rains continue to move toward the coast. It's really coming down out there folks. Be extra careful out and about for the next couple of hours.

After a stormy morning along the coast, the rains this evening are inland. Wednesday looks like it'll be a lot like Tuesday. Scattered storms starting 1st thing in the morning with coverage around 60%.

No big deal. Just a "feel like" temp of 101 in Clearwater at 11pm at night!
