Its going to take some time to get these storms brewing today like they did yesterday but once of strong ones. Brookdale, bayshore camera, you see a little leftover cloud cover from last night. I also noticed when i was driving in, a couple of patches of fog here and there. In general its a typical start to the nice little august day. We have 75 degrees in brandon, wesley chapel, lakeland, winter haven. Frost proof, good morning. Southeast polk county looking great now at 75. Up to crystal river, were at 72 in the warmest is not degrees. The winds are relatively light but i point your attention to the direction of the winds which is primarily southeast so you get that southeasterly wind to start and then the sea breeze will take over this afternoon and i think youre going to get that sea breeze collision very similar spot to yesterday, just east of i75.

Were going to run 50 inland and the future cast shows us how its going to set up for later this afternoon. Youll notice everything kind of marching back toward the west. So wherever the sea breezes meet, here is 6 00, everything will start to drift back to the west. If youre along the coast or beaches, youll look off to the east for the thunderstorms to pop up. Thing. Looking toward the east and everything eventually settled back toward the west. This is a very typical, very normal weather pattern we have. Hot and humid to start. Back to about 91 degrees. Thats what we made it to yesterday. No reason why we wont today. 40 to 50 rain chance. Once the sun goes down and the sea breezes collapse, you lose the energy. Just get back to partly cloudy skies and stey overnight. Low 78. Tomorrow more scattered afternoon storms. Again, late in the day. Not early in the afternoon, late in the day with the High Temperature around 91 degrees. That means for boaters today, that east wind shifting to the west. Water temperatures are still in the mid 80s. Seas running two feet with a light chop. High tide 8 17 this morning with a low tide at 4 09 this afternoon. Honestly, no significant changes.
