Wet Weekend on the Way for Temple Terrace

This story was reported and written by Associate Regional Editor Sherri Lonon.

Just because rain chances are high this weekend, doesn’t mean Temple Terrace residents can’t get in a little gardening time.

If you have something to do on Saturday, do it earlier, suggested Rodney Wynn, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Ruskin office.

Wynn said rain chances are about 70 percent on Friday and Saturday – especially in the afternoon and early evening hours. Thunderstorms are expected to form over Florida’s east coast and move their way across the state to Tampa Bay. That means morning and early afternoons should be nice, but outdoor activities after 4 p.m. might be off the table through Saturday, Sept. 7.

Things start to clear out a bit Sunday and going into Monday when rain chances fall to about 30 percent.

Wynn said area residents can expect highs in the 90s and lows in the 70s through the weekend.
