Tampa, FL – Parts of Florida face another round of thunderstorms Tuesday, Nov. 3, raising concerns about additional flooding in communities already affected by extreme rainfall Monday, as forecasters warn that more downpours could develop throughout the afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Tampa Bay, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected across west central and southwest Florida Tuesday, with additional rain chances continuing Wednesday before drier conditions return later in the week.
Additional Flooding Possible Tuesday A few showers could develop Tuesday morning before thunderstorm activity becomes more widespread during the afternoon.
Forecasters expect the highest rainfall totals across interior portions of the region, where repeated downpours could produce locally significant accumulations.
The National Weather Service specifically warns that communities experiencing extreme rainfall Monday could face additional flooding if heavy showers develop over already saturated locations.
Residents across the Tampa Bay region and surrounding inland communities should remain alert for changing road conditions and possible standing water.
The agency has not provided specific rainfall totals for Tuesday in the latest update.
More Rain Wednesday Before Drier Weather Returns Rain chances are expected to continue Wednesday, Nov. 4, as unsettled weather remains across west central and southwest Florida.
The forecast then calls for drier conditions during the remainder of the week, potentially providing relief to areas dealing with repeated rainfall.
Drivers traveling along Interstate 4, Interstate 75 and Interstate 275 should be cautious during heavier downpours, particularly where water collects on roadways.
Motorists should never attempt to drive through flooded roads, even when the water appears shallow.
Residents in low lying or flood prone communities should monitor local alerts and updated forecasts as thunderstorms develop Tuesday afternoon.
The National Weather Service continues tracking the rainfall threat, with particular concern for locations that received extreme precipitation Monday.
