TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A prominent wind coming from the Gulf of Mexico could change our weather pattern slightly this time of year.
Closer to the coast, expect some light showers before lunch. Winds will begin to spread the rain showers further inland by early afternoon. In fact, the best rain coverage should be before 4 p.m. Later in the day, the heaviest rain will be pushed out of our communities and closer to the East Coast.
The onshore wind also increases the humidity a bit, making temperatures of around 37 degrees feel like 38 degrees.
The pattern on land will be even clearer tomorrow, so our rain chances drop to 30%. Any showers that form will quickly disappear from our area. The pattern will break slightly on Friday, leaving some rain showers inland at the end of the day.
This weekend we return to a ‘classic’ summer weather pattern. Expect mostly dry conditions in the morning, with widespread rain showers developing late in the afternoon and evening. Some of these storms are heading towards the Gulf of Mexico.
Expect warm conditions this weekend before those storms form. Similar weather is expected for the first part of next week.
