Tampa Bay's typical late-summer weather pattern has continued through mid-September, with near-daily scattered afternoon thunderstorms, highs in the low 90s, and occasional isolated flooding from heavy downpours, particularly on weekends. Winds have periodically shifted easterly, lowering humidity and pushing storms from the coast inland, with forecasters noting a brief taste of fall arriving midweek before summer conditions return. Forecasters described the pattern as typical of a Florida late summer, with rain chances around 60% on the wettest days and temperatures staying near or slightly above seasonal averages throughout the stretch.
