Today in Tampa, we're looking at a scorcher that'll make you want to melt into your air conditioning. I'm talking about an Extreme Heat Warning that's no joke - temperatures climbing to a sizzling 97 degrees Fahrenheit with heat index values potentially reaching 110 degrees. Talk about turning up the heat!
Let's break down today's forecast. We've got a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms hanging around between 3 pm and 5 pm. The wind will start calm and then mosey on over to a southwest direction around 6 miles per hour in the afternoon. Pro weather tip: when it's this hot, even the wind feels like a hair dryer!
Tonight, expect a 20 percent chance of pop-up showers between 10 pm and midnight. We'll have partly cloudy skies and a low around 82 degrees. The wind will play musical chairs, starting west and then going totally calm in the evening.
Now, it's time for our Weather Playbook segment! Today, we're talking about heat index. Think of heat index like weather's version of a spice level - it's how hot it actually feels when humidity joins the temperature party. High humidity makes it feel way hotter than the thermometer suggests. Today's 110-degree heat index is like ordering the extra-extra-hot salsa of weather conditions!
Three-Day Forecast Quick Hit:
Wednesday: 50 percent chance of thunderstorms, high near 95 degrees
Thursday: 30 percent chance of afternoon showers, high near 95 degrees
Friday: 40 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms, high near 96 degrees
If you're in Tampa, hydrate like it's your job, seek shade, and maybe consider becoming best friends with your air conditioner!
