Sorry that I am late getting the forecast out this morning. I'm feeling a little under the weather today, but some great racing action will make me feel better today. As I am typing this blog entry, numerous showers and thunderstorms are over the Gulf of Mexico and are moving to the ENE. Showers should start to arrive in St. Petersburg within the next 45-60 minutes (12:45PM-1:00PM).
FRIDAY
Mostly cloudy with showers likely and a possible thunderstorm. Expect breezy conditions with winds gusting up to 25 MPH. The chances of rain and thunderstorms will taper off sometime between 9PM-11PM. Rain totals today could be up to 3/4 of an inch. I do not believe any of the storms today will reach severe limits, but when dealing with thunderstorms, expect the unexpected. Our live radar has the warning feature built in. If a warning is issued by the National Weather Service, the warning polygon will show on radar almost instantly. Stay weather aware.
HIGH: Upper 70s LOW: Around 60 WIND: SW 10-20 MPH CHANCE OF RAIN: 80%
SATURDAY
Skies clear out and you will notice that the temperatures will definitely be cooler than the previous days. Expecting sunny skies with a windy conditions. Expect winds to be gusty at times, up to 25 MPH. For the night time, much of the same. Clear skies and cooler with breezy conditions. Winds could gust up to 20 MPH.

Appears to be an almost carbon copy of Saturday, except it will be a little warmer. Sunny skies and breezy.
