How could rain impact July 4th in the Tampa Bay area? Here's the latest timeline
The Brief Tropical downpours are expected later this week, including on the Fourth of July, according to FOX 13 meteorologists. A disturbance in the northeastern Gulf has a 20 percent chance of development, and will act as a rainmaker either way. The highest rain chances come later this week, including Friday. TAMPA, Fla. - July 4th will likely come with rain as part of an unsettled week of weather in the Tampa Bay area. FOX 13 meteorologists say an area of low pressure in the northeastern Gulf is leading to an increased chance of downpours over the next several days. The National Hurricane Center is giving the disturbance a 30 percent chance of development in the next seven days – but whether it develops or not, meteorologists say it will act as a rainmaker. Big picture view FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says rain and storms will arrive later on Tuesday compared to Monday, with the highest coverage of rain coming in the PM hours. The high temperature will reach the upper 80s in Tampa – down from the average high of 91. What's next Osterberg says rain chances will go up later this week as a frontal boundary moves south, then gets "hung up" just north of the Bay Area by Thursday, July 3. That should bring more waves of rain our way in time for Independence Day as deep tropical moisture moves over Central Florida. As of Tuesday morning, rain chances are expected to reach 70 percent on Thursday and Friday, with several inches of total rainfall expected over the next week. As for whether the whole Fourth of July will be a washout for everyone: not necessarily, according to Osterberg. "It's important to note that during this whole wet pattern, it's not going to rain all day every day," Osterberg said. Still, rain will be something to watch for through the holiday weekend and into next week, as well. The Source This story was written with information from FOX 13 meteorologists.

Record heat possible for Easter weekend in Tampa Bay area
The Brief Temperatures are rising in the Tampa Bay area ahead of Easter weekend, meteorologists say. The afternoon high could at least tie, if not break, daily records in Tampa on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Humidity won't be high, however, with dew points likely staying in the 50s until Monday. TAMPA, Fla. - This Easter weekend will be a hot one in the Tampa Bay area, with a chance of record heat as temperatures soar. By the numbers FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says there will be "wall-to-wall sunshine" across Florida on Friday, with the high temperature approaching 90 degrees in many parts of the Bay Area. Saturday brings a greater chance of at least tying, if not breaking, Tampa's daily record high of 90 degrees set in 2011. Easter Sunday's high is also forecast to reach 90 in Tampa, which would match the record for April 20 set in 1960. One thing you won't notice, though, is high humidity. Osterberg says the dew point will likely stay in the 50s through the weekend before climbing into the 60s on Monday. "That does make a big difference because when you hit 90 degrees with a dew point in the upper 50s, it feels very different than 90 degrees with a dew point of 70," Osterberg said. As humidity rises, morning lows will go up to about 70 degrees next week, according to Osterberg. Afternoon highs will stay in the upper 80s to low 90s with little to no rain expected over the next several days.

Record heat could last days in Tampa Bay area. Here's when it will cool back down
The Brief Temperatures could set records in the Tampa Bay area on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It will stay hot and humid until a cold front arrives early next week, forecasters say. Temperatures could stay below average for a good portion of next week. TAMPA, Fla. - It's feeling like summer in the Tampa Bay area this week, with temperatures expected to set records in parts of the region on Wednesday – something that will likely be a pattern for the rest of the week, as well. By the numbers FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says afternoon highs will top 90 degrees across much of the Bay Area, with some areas breaking records for April 2. Humidity will be high, as well, according to Osterberg, raising the heat index to the mid 90s in many spots. "That's summertime stuff. It really, really is," Osterberg said. "And this is going to be a preview of summertime." The heat will continue on Thursday and Friday, with highs climbing into the 90s and threatening to topple daily records again. Temperatures might be slightly lower this weekend, but the high in Tampa is still forecast to reach the upper 80s on Saturday and Sunday with humidity remaining high. If you're looking for relief from both the heat and humidity, it's coming next week as a cold front arrives late Monday into Tuesday, according to Osterberg. By next Tuesday, meteorologists say the afternoon high should be back below 80 degrees, with temperatures possibly staying below average for a good portion of next week.

Florida faces severe weather risk this weekend. Here's the timeline
The Brief As many as 150 million people in the U.S. face a potential severe weather outbreak in the coming days. Storms will likely reach the Tampa Bay area late Sunday, bringing a marginal risk of severe weather to part of the region. The severe weather risk is greater this weekend in other parts of the Deep South, including Alabama and Mississippi, as the storms will likely weaken slightly before reaching the Bay Area. TAMPA, Fla. - A potential severe weather outbreak impacting up to 150 million people across the central and eastern U.S. will reach Florida this weekend, bringing storms to the Tampa Bay area. While the worst of the severe weather will likely stay north and west of the Bay Area, FOX 13 meteorologists say strong storms could still hit the region late Sunday into early Monday. FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says the work week will end on a nice note, with mostly sunny skies and a south wind sending temperatures into the low-to-mid 80s. Saturday will be even warmer, according to Osterberg, with temperatures possibly approaching 90 degrees inland while climbing into the mid-80s in Tampa. The Bay Area won't see rain for most of the day on Sunday, but that's expected to change during the evening and nighttime hours as storms begin to roll through the region. Those storms will bring a marginal risk of severe weather to parts of the Bay Area late Sunday and early Monday, Osterberg says, with the severe storm threat stretching all the way into the northeastern U.S. on Sunday. The severe weather risk is greater in parts of the Midwest on Friday and the Deep South on Saturday, including large portions of Alabama and Mississippi along with the Florida Panhandle. Storms will likely weaken slightly before reaching the Bay Area, Osterberg says, but they could still be strong. Once the rain clears out of the Bay Area on Monday, temperatures will hover around 80 degrees each afternoon for much of next week, meteorologists say. FOX Weather contributed to this report.
