A cold front will move into and stall out across in the Tampa Bay area Tuesday and Tuesday night.
An area of low pressure is forecast to develop along the stalled front over the eastern Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. The low will then track slowly east-northeast across the center of the state Tuesday night, deepening as it moves into the Atlantic Ocean off the Southeast U.S. coast early Wednesday morning.
Abundant moisture, combined with the low and frontal boundary and upper-level support, will help to increase rain chances Tuesday through early Wednesday, with some widespread, locally heavy rainfall amounts possible.
In addition to the heavy rain potential, there will also be a risk for a few thunderstorms. Some could be strong. There's a marginal risk Tuesday afternoon and evening of damaging wind and hail.
A dense sea fog is possible through Tuesday evening. Locally heavy rainfall and flooding are possible Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Strong winds and high seas over marine areas are possible Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Travelers can now expect some snow in the Northeastern United States on Wednesday, and that could cause some travel delays. Temperatures are expected to be marginal for snow, probably in the low to mid 30s, so some coastal areas will mainly seen rain.
Behind this system, drier but chilly weather builds in for Thanksgiving.
