TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) - Today was hot & humid with a healthy round of late afternoon storms that lingered into the early evening. Storms drift offshore or fade after sunset.

Wednesday starts out with quiet & sunny conditions, warming quickly into the low 90s. Showers for along the east coast of the state and push across the state, grwoing in intensity and coverage as they get closer to our coastline.

It's a similar pattern tomorrow and Thursday, but there's a slightly higher chance for the late-day downpours. They drift toward the coast in the evening.

A stalling cold front arrives late Friday. While the front won't necessarily increase our rain chances, it does change the timing a bit. Watch for showers to start a little earlier in the day through the weekend. There won't be as many of the intense downpours in the evening either.

Scattered showers continue early next week as the front slowly dissipates.

We are tracking three tropical waves that may develop. One off the coast of Africa should stay out in the Atlantic. One i the mid Atlantic only has a 10% chance to develop- it will move into and area of higher shear soon, which would weaken it further. The one in the Caribbean will be slow to organize as it heads west. Next week, the system could make it into the western Gulf of Mexico.
