Tampa, Florida – A burst of sunshine will kick off Sunday in Tampa, but local residents should keep an umbrella handy for a quick turn Monday afternoon. Roads like Dale Mabry Highway and area bridges could see slick spots as a 20 percent chance of showers sweeps in after 2 p.m. Monday, raising the first SPRING weather ALERT of the week.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures soar to 92°F on Sunday with calm winds—a perfect SPRING day for outdoor plans across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. By Monday, humidity will rise and light rain could pop up, mainly after lunchtime. East southeast winds shift west at 5–7 mph, but travel impacts look minor unless showers intensify. Drivers should watch for sudden wet patches and keep headlights on during any bursts of rain.
Monday night brings only a slight chance of lingering showers, with skies clearing into Tuesday. Highs remain steady near 90°F through midweek, keeping the risk of heat exhaustion in play. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon heat.
Tuesday into Friday, the weather steadies with mostly clear nights and daytime highs ranging from 87°F to 92°F. No significant hazards are expected after Monday’s alert, making this a prime stretch for SPRING activities—beach trips, sports, or evening strolls. Still, occasional clouds may pop up by Thursday, but rainfall chances stay minimal.
Stay tuned for updates if Monday’s showers strengthen or if any weather advisories are issued for the Tampa Bay area. The next scheduled update will follow the National Weather Service’s latest forecast.
