\"Tampa \"Tampa <\/p>\n

TAMPA, Fla. – Heavy rain and minor flooding are possible across parts of the Tampa Bay region on Labor Day as scattered storms and coastal rain move inland from the Gulf.<\/p>\n

Bay Area rain, flooding forecast <\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Onshore winds will push storms eastward through the afternoon. While some areas could see periods of heavy rain, it won’t be a washout, and dry periods are expected throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The greatest flooding threat is expected along and north of the Bay Area, particularly north of Interstate 4 and extending toward Florida’s east coast.<\/p>\n

Some locations have already picked up between a half-inch and just over 1 inch of rain Monday morning. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible in areas that see slow-moving storms.<\/p>\n

Drivers should use caution in areas prone to flooding, especially where heavy rain falls in a short period of time.<\/p>\n

Gulf Coast storm transition <\/p>\n

Dig deeper:<\/p>\n

By the evening and around sunset, isolated storms are expected to linger inland, with most activity shifting toward the Atlantic Coast. Drier conditions are expected along the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n

Some storms will remain over the Gulf tonight and into Tuesday morning as abundant tropical moisture remains over Florida. A weak front will also be positioned just north of the state.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

The forecast calls for periods of rain and storms, but not everyone will see continuous rainfall throughout the day.<\/p>\n
