Florida Forecasters Watching Newest Development in the Tropics
Just a gentle reminder that hurricane season isn’t over yet. Denis Phillips from ABC Action News says there’s a system with a “70-90% chance of developing” in the next few days. He says models are showing this will likely impact Florida – but it’s not known exactly where in Florida we’ll see landfall. But Denis says the timeline of the storm’s arrival looks to be sometime between Wednesday and Friday. Based on the map Denis shared this morning on social media, it looks to be a weather event more for Florida’s east coast than for us here in Tampa area.
Denis says this system will be nothing significant. We’re not going to see another Hurricane Ian. But it still could bring some heavy rain and coastal flooding.
As for the Bucs game today, no big problems. Denis says we may see a few showers during the game but nothing too crazy. He puts rain chances at about 30% from 2pm until 6pm. Temps will be in the mid 80s for kickoff and in the upper 70s as the game wraps up at Raymond James Stadium.
