ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It was a wet day across the region with numerous showers and storms as expected. That will also be the case into Thursday as the front to our north is stalled.

 

 

Flood warning for the Little Manatee River at Wimauma from this evening until Friday morning.

  • At 4 p.m. Wednesday the stage was 10.9 feet
  • Minor flooding is forecast
  • Flood stage is 11.0 feet
  • The river is forecast to rise above flood stage by this evening and continue to rise to near 11.2 feet by tomorrow morning. The river is expected to fall below flood stage by early Friday morning.
  • Impact at 11.0 feet: the river overflows its banks.

So expect another round of showers and storms coming in from the Gulf and don’t be surprised to be woken up by thunder and flashes of lightning through the morning hours. 

Morning temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s, about where we currently are in many areas.

With all the cloud cover it kept our highs way below average and that will be the case again for Thursday with highs expected in the mid 80s. 

The coverage of rain will end up at about 80 percent by the end of the day. 

Friday will still feature a lot of moisture in our atmosphere but the onshore wind flow will back off so the coverage of storms will drop slightly to the 60 percent range. 

The pattern will get back to our more traditional summer flow this weekend with mainly just afternoon to evening storms. Therefore it will be hotter with highs back into the low 90s.
