ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — With the current pattern, the scattered storms decrease in coverage overnight but perk back up near sunrise.
With that in mind, expect partly cloudy skies from now through sunrise with just a few isolated storms. Expect the coverage to increase after sunrise, however with storms moving in from the Gulf of Mexico.
This is what we refer to as the "reverse summer pattern."

Morning lows will be in the mid 70s inland and near 80 at the coast.
Scattered storms will again start in coastal regions first, but then quickly spread eastward across the region. The coverage will be at about 40 percent.
The good news about this current pattern is that the showers and storms have movement, so even if it rains at your location it moves along and therefore doesn’t ruin outdoor plans.
Highs will again be near 90.
