The weekend is going to be soggy with the potential for strong, even severe storms and flooding across the Tampa Bay area. While we could see a few showers Friday afternoon, it is the last day heading into the weekend to get things done or travel without any rain or storms. As the system we've been tracking all week in the Gulf finally arrives Saturday morning, the rain begins. A storm system will move onshore near Tampa, which will bring us strong to potentially severe storms this weekend. The severe weather potential includes isolated tornadoes, gusty winds, lightning and flooding — all starting Saturday afternoon through overnight Sunday. The forecast indicates that is when the majority of the severe weather threat will happen.
