TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) -- Tampa Bay can expect a fast-moving and disruptive round of storms to push through the area on Wednesday.
There is a small chance for a severe storm, primarily along the Nature Coast, with the main concern being strong, gusty winds.
The storms are expected to approach the Citrus County coast a little before 10 a.m. The storms will push through Hernando and Pasco counties between 10 a.m. and noon, while northern Pinellas will see the storms around 11 a.m.
Southern Pinellas, Hillsborough, and northern Polk counties will see lunchtime storms moving through between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. (might be a great day to pack your lunch.)
Manatee County will see the storms a little before 1 p.m., while Sarasota, Hardee, and DeSoto counties will see the storms between 2 and 4 p.m., but they will be fading significantly before they hit Highlands County from 4-5 p.m.
The line of storms itself will not be impressive and they will be moving through quickly. This means any threat will be on the leading edge of the storms and we will not see significant rainfall totals, although we could use some decent rainfall.
Wednesday's storms are not going to Let Your Love Flow- the storms have canceled the Bellamy Brothers concert at the Strawberry Festival, slated for 3:30 p.m. The Lynyrd Skynyrd concert at 7:30 p.m. is still expected. Bring your jacket if you are heading to hear Freebird, as the temperatures will be dropping quickly with a cool breeze during that show.
Behind the fast-moving downpours, we will dry out and then clear out rather quickly. Temperatures will sink down into the chilly 50s on Thursday morning. Temperatures stay cool all day on Thursday, only topping out in the 60s with a cool breeze.
