Storms that were tracking through Citrus, Hernando, Pasco, and Polk counties this morning are now pushing into Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota. That shift matters.
A marginal severe weather alert has been issued for west-central Florida and inland areas. Marginal means most storms won't cross the severe threshold, but isolated damaging wind gusts are possible.
The humidity is the factor that makes this day feel heavier than the numbers suggest. Muggy conditions are in place all day.
The clearest practical guidance today is about timing. Morning hours are your safe window.
For the afternoon commute, this is worth taking seriously. Heavy rainfall and gusty winds during peak storm activity can create difficult driving conditions.
The stalled front isn't going anywhere today. Tomorrow's setup will depend on whether that system shifts or holds.
