After strong thunderstorms moved through the region on Tuesday, the Tampa Bay area is facing another threat of severe weather on Wednesday. A tornado watch is currently in effect through 11 a.m. for much of the area. The tornado watch affects Manatee, Hernando, Polk, Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Citrus counties. This time of year, cold fronts aren't quite as successful with making it all the way across the state. And if they do clear the state, temperatures don't cool down much, or for very long, before heating up again. This is exactly what we can expect with this next rain-maker. But at least we'll see some much-needed rain! Ahead of our next frontal boundary, very warm and moist air settles in while winds stay breezy overnight through Wednesday morning. The development and coverage of rain increases overnight through early Wednesday morning. A few storms could be on the strong to severe side, mainly along and north of Tampa Bay, so be sure to stay weather-aware through your morning commute!
