Some areas could see flash flooding, especially in the greater Tampa Bay area, Bergren added. \u201cWouldn\u2019t be a shock to me if somewhere got 6-7″+ of rain during this spell in the Tampa area.\u201d<\/p>\n

(National Hurricane Center) <\/p>\n

Bergren also expected some damaging winds or brief tornados along the Interstate 4 corridor. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be more wind energy in the atmosphere to support an actual tornado risk, more than the \u2018run of the mill\u2019 rainy season afternoon. Thanks to that low pressure system spinning in the Gulf,\u201d he wrote. \u201cLots of storms and downpours across the Orlando area as well. But also notice, none of these days are \u2018washouts\u2019 and raining the entire day. Just a high coverage of action daily.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the system is directly offshore, it has little time to strengthen over water. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest hindrance to development will be its expected short period of time over water which won\u2019t give it much time to consolidate,\u201d Fox 13\u2019s pal Dellegatto wrote in a social media post<\/a>. \u201cThat being said, we pay special attention to any areas of low pressure that are expected to develop near us this time of year. NHC pegs the area at a 20 [percent] chance for development. More than likely, the net result will be an increase in rainfall over the northern half of Florida this weekend and early next week.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some areas could see flash flooding, especially in the greater Tampa Bay area, Bergren added. \u201cWouldn\u2019t be a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-342238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
