Higher rain chances are back thanks to a weak front that will stall across North Florida the next few days. The west wind will be with us through Tuesday. Wednesday, we get the east wind for one day before the west wind returns for the remainder of the week.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect until 5:15 for a portion of western Pasco Co along the Suncoast Pkwy and Hwy 52. 60 mph wind gusts are possible. The storm is currently stationary. Heads up around Quail Ridge, Meadow Oaks and Moon Lake.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect until 5:15 p.m. for southern Hillsborough and central Manatee counties. 60 mph wind gusts are possible in areas East Bradenton, Ellenton, Parrish, Wimauma, Ruskin and Sun City Center. The storm is moving NW at 10 mph.

Iโve got the noon, 3 and 4 pm newscasts today! Join me for your forecast. The east/southeast wind is coming back and that means a change in the rain timing. See ya on air! ๐๐ป๐๐ป
As always here in Florida, there were the "haves" and "have nots" with rainfall today. Some spots over 4" at the coast while inland spots saw nada. Which one were you today?!
August 23, 2026 in West Central Florida. The rare washout has finally happened for most of the area today!! Your AC is probably the one that's rejoicing the most, hahaha! Those 70s look and feel wonderful!
A few showers and storms will likely develop along the coast early Sunday AM with the highest rain coverage shifting inland. Drier air aloft returns Mon & Tue to lower the rain chance. Weds, the SE wind returns bringing back our normal rainy season weather through next weekend.
Not much rain out there today so far. We'll keep a 30% chance in for the rest of the afternoon, with the better coverage heading inland with the west/southwest wind.
