Florida weather: Heavy rain to impact Tampa Bay on Tuesday — Here’s when to expect clear skies and sunshine

Rain showers will affect the Tampa Bay Area on Tuesday morning due to a low-pressure system moving in from the Gulf. This weather pattern will bring heavier rainfall and possibly some storms to Central Florida.

Clearer skies and warmer temperatures will arrive later in the week.

Over the weekend, Tampa experienced mostly sunny weather.


Drivers should prepare for slippery roads during the morning commute, and outdoor plans may need to be adjusted accordingly.

By the evening, the skies will clear, and the temperature will drop to a cooler 57°F overnight, according to the National Weather Service in the Tampa Bay Area.

By Wednesday, Tampa will experience abundant sunshine with a high of 76°F and minimal wind. The warm weather will persist throughout the week, with Thursday and Friday expected to be mostly sunny and temperatures remaining in the mid-70s.
