The Labor Day holiday started with plenty of sunshine and temperatures in the low to mid-90s, but by the evening hours, most of the Bay area saw intense storms.

A tornado warning was issued for west-central Hillsborough County but was canceled shortly after. A waterspout was spotted in Tampa but never touched down.

One person was injured after a lightning strike caused a house fire in Odessa. Crews found smoke coming from the attic of a home on Bellamy Road and were able to contain it.

The person near the home was transported to the hospital for discomfort, secondary to being outside during the strike.

According to Bay News 9 Meteorologist Brian McClure, scattered storms that started on the other side of the state made their way westward toward our side.

"They get stronger as the run into our sea breeze and then move west into the Gulf with clearing skies at night," said McClure.

Slightly drier air will move into our upper atmosphere for Tuesday and Wednesday, therefore cutting down on the rain chance for those two days. 

However, any storms that do form will still have the same westward movement toward the Gulf. 

McClure said to expect hot temperatures with highs in the mid 90s and a heat index well above 100 both days. 

Rain chances will go up at the end of the week.

Showers and storms produced severe weather in parts of the Bay News 9 viewing area on Sunday. A waterspout formed and moved into the Bayway Isles neighborhood before dissipating. 

Storms damaged several mobile homes in multiple parks in St. Petersburg late Saturday. Winds up to 50 mph tore the roofs off of carports and the homes themselves. Several trees were downed around the city as well.

Meanwhile, the Bay News 9 weather experts continue to monitor Tropical Depression #5 near the Yucatan Peninsula. The depression is no threat to the U.S. but may affect Mexico.

Lightning: What You Need to Know

No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are in the area. If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to strike you.

When you hear thunder, immediately move to safe shelter: a substantial building with electricity or plumbing or an enclosed, metal-topped vehicle with windows up.

Stay in safe shelter at least 30 minutes after you hear the last sound of thunder.

Indoor Lightning Safety

Stay off corded phones, computers and other electrical equipment that put you in direct contact with electricity.

Avoid plumbing, including sinks, baths and faucets.

Stay away from windows and doors, and stay off porches.

Do not lie on concrete floors, and do not lean against concrete walls.
