Tampa, FL – As Tampa residents prepare for the week, today’s weather forecast shows rising temperatures and a 20-40% chance of scattered showers across the region. Temperatures will reach highs around 90 degrees, creating humid conditions inland. For those in Lakeland and Brooksville, rain chances are higher at 40%, while Sarasota and Fort Myers will see lower odds of rain at 20%.
According to the National Weather Service, Tampa’s weather pattern is influenced by inland showers, with coastal areas experiencing slightly lower chances. The warm, humid start to the week sets the stage for tomorrow’s main event—the harvest supermoon and partial lunar eclipse. The eclipse will start at 8:41 p.m. EDT Tuesday, peaking at 10:44 p.m., when 8% of the moon will be covered.
Local officials encourage residents to view the event from open areas to avoid potential cloud cover. Keep an umbrella handy, especially in Lakeland, where storms are more likely Tuesday afternoon. Those planning to view the eclipse should stay alert to changing weather conditions and plan accordingly for clear viewing spots.
