For Saturday, light southeasterly winds will keep the sea breeze fairly close to the coast during the day. A few storms will develop in the early afternoon close to the coast.
Showers and storms will start early on the Atlantic side of the state along the east coast sea breeze. These will move westward toward Tampa Bay on the prevailing southeast winds.
Showers and storms will then increase by late afternoon into the evening as the two sea breezes collide. With a similar pattern to Friday, rain chances Saturday are not much different. Highs will again be in the low to mid 90s.
The southeast to east flow will continue into Sunday, so storms will mainly be in the late afternoon into evening. Storm chances continue to be near normal, at 40 percent through the weekend. Winds will increase just a little out of the east-southeast.
