TROPICS | As of the 8 AM update from the NHC, not a lot of changes with our orange blob. This may be the best it looks before leaving the gulf stream and moving over much cooler waters. That will be highly unfavorable for development. No worries for us in Tampa Bay.
TROPICAL UPDATE | As of the 2 PM update from NHC, a non tropical low continues to churn off the US east coast and is moving away to the northeast. Regardless if it forms or not is is moving well away from us. Dangerous surf and coastal erosion is expected along the East Coast throughout the week
Who needs warm weather when the vibe of our Rays is this hot? Game on! Rays up! 🌴➡️🍂 let me know if you’re watching the game in Cleveland, Florida or at work! (I won’t tell) ⬇️ #raysup #cleveland #tampabay #alcs #baseball
DROUGHT MONITOR | Great news! Drought continues to improve across our area. Severe drought still extends from the Bay down to southwest Highlands County.
It’s official! Game three of the ALCS in Cleveland has been MOVED to 1 PM due to weather. Let’s talk about why this is the better choice & rain chances for Friday in Cleveland. #rays #guardians #cleveland #weather #baseball
Going to cleveland this week to games 3,4, & 5 of the ALCS? You’re gonna miss the Trop rays fans. Here’s your Cleveland weather check for Rays fans making the trip 🧥⚾️ Friday is potentially the rough one. #rays #guardians #cleveland #weather #baseball
FORECAST | Good morning! Another warm and dry day ahead. Temperatures will be warm in the upper 80s for most with just a few sct'd clouds in the afternoon. The humidity will remain comfortable during the afternoon.
TROPICS | As of the 2 PM update from the NHC, our cluster of storms near the Cabo Verde Islands is still low on the development front and won't likely become much of anything. Still a 20% over the next week. If anything changes we will keep ya posted.
Not for us in Tampa Bay! A tornado watch has been issued for parts of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia until 9 PM.
Bolts take on the Wild tonight at Benchmark International Arena. Expect it to be wet before and after the game. #GoBolts
A reminder that we do have a flood watch in effect until this evening for Manatee, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, & Citrus counties. Remember: Turn around, don't dorwn!
The storm prediction center has again under a level one at a five risk for strong to severe storms today for those in green (10/8). Really, the only threat we have is for water spouts & brief spin ups. Very low threat-but non zero!
RAIN PLANNER | Another day of cloudy skies and high rain chances. This is the last day for this setup. Rain moves to sct'd storms in the PM on Friday.
🚨HEADS UP PINELLAS, HILLSBOROUGH , MANATEE, & SARASOTA COUNTIES 🚨 The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded us this afternoon (10/6) to a low threat of a brief tornado or waterspout along the coast. Keep an eye on the sky if you live near the water!
FORECAST | Cloudy morning with rain on the way! It is not going to rain at every hour... there will be breaks, but it won't be long. Temps in the low to mid 80s. Keep that umbrella handy!
TROPICS | As of the 2 PM update from the NHC, the remnants of Fay still are highlighted in yellow, but don't look great. Only a 10% chance over the next 2 & 7 days for Fay to reform. Not a concern for us. Just keeping an eye out.
Lots going on in Tampa Bay this weekend! Sports, markets, Halloween things, and more! Here’s a look at some of the timings of the events! Are you going to any or watching any from home? #bucs #rays #lightning #tampa #stpetersburg
This just doesn’t even feel right to say, but it is!
NO TROPICAL DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 7 DAYS! If we didn't know better, this would be a bit unnerving. Luckily, we do know better.
FORECAST | Lots of clouds today and increasing humidity. Temperatures will warm into the 80s today with a slight shower chance.
I'm in for Denis tonight and will be on DPL, so, here is question of the day! I am so excited for the nicer mornings this weekend and plan on opening my windows for a bit! How are you planning on enjoying it? Let me know in the comments for a chance to be featured on the show!
