The forecast calls for typical Florida weather: hot, humid, and a bit unpredictable. Temperatures are reaching the low 90s, with humidity at 91% this morning. The heat index could feel as high as 99 — just another normal day in Florida, according to the National Weather Service.

The real weather story in Tampa is the scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms expected this afternoon, especially between 3 and 4 p.m., with more possible after that. Rain chances stay between 20% and 50% all week. It’s that time of year when the weather can switch from sunny to soaked in minutes, as reported by the National Weather Service.

Tonight, storms should clear out before 8 p.m., leaving partly cloudy skies. Temperatures will drop to around 76 degrees, with a light east-southeast breeze at 3 to 6 mph with a 30% chance of rain, as per the National Weather Service. Looking ahead, expect scattered showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. from Tuesday through Thursday. Friday may be a bit stormier, with a 50% chance of storms.
