FOX 13 Meteorologist shares the latest on the stormy conditions moving into the Tampa Bay Area late Sunday into Monday.

The Brief

    • Stormy conditions are continuing across the state of Florida as much of the Tampa Bay Area is expected to see heavy rain for the next two days.
    • The atmospheric river that is moving across the southeast will continue to build from Sunday into Monday.
    • The round of storms will feature 1–3 inches of rain with gusty winds and possible hail.

TAMPA - After four tornadoes were reported in the Florida panhandle on Saturday, that low pressure system is bringing a significant amount of rain to the Tampa Bay Area starting on Sunday and continuing into the early part of the week.

This system comes as much of the region continues to deal with drought conditions.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says that the round of storms will feature 1–3 inches and isolated spots could see more rain with gusty winds and possible hail.

The heavy rain could create isolated flooding in certain spots.

Timeline:

The atmospheric river that is moving across the southeast will continue to build from Sunday into Monday.

"We are really going to ramp up our storm coverage," Mills says. "We are talking about 60% coverage today (Sunday), that stays elevated tonight. And then tomorrow (Monday) we are up to 80% coverage."
