Florida is exposed to a serious weather risk this weekend. Here is the timeline

Tampa, Fla. – – A potential storm outbreak, which affects tens of million people in the central and eastern USA, will reach Florida this weekend and bring storms to the Tampa Bay Area.

While the worst of the storm will probably remain north and west of the Bay area, Fox 13 meteorologists say that strong storms could reach the region until early Monday.

Friday forecast

Fox 13 meteorologist Dave Osterberg says that the working week will end with a nice hint, with a mainly sunny sky and a south wind that sends temperatures into the low to medium 80s.

According to Osterberg, Saturday will be even warmer, with the temperatures possibly approaching 90 degrees in the interior, while they climb in Tampa in the mid -1980s.

The Bay Area will not see most of the day on Sunday, but it is expected that during the evening and night hours when storms roll through the region.

These storms will bring a marginal risk of storm to the Bay Area on Sunday and early Monday, says Osterberg.

The storm risk is greater in parts of the middle west on Friday and in the deep south on Saturday, including large parts of Alabama and Mississippi as well as the Florida Panhandle. Storms will probably weaken a little before they reach the Bay Area, says Osterberg, but they could still be strong.

As soon as the rain is cleared out of the Bay Area on Monday, the temperatures will float around 80 degrees for a large part of the next week, say meteorologists.
