After two days of heavy rain that left streets flooded, cars submerged and roofs damaged, today could bring at least another round of hit-or-miss storms.

According to the Bay News 9 weather team, a stationary front will keep the moisture content in the atmosphere high. Afternoon temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 80s, and the heating will trigger showers and thunderstorms.

There's a 70 percent chance of rain around Tampa Bay and 60 percent in Hernando and Citrus Counties, Bay News 9 Chief Meteorologist Mike Clay said.

"We had an intense area of moisture move by on Friday," Clay said. "But we still have enough around today to give us a good chance of showers and thunderstorms. And then, as we head into Monday, that moisture will come back as our wind flow changes to a west-southwest direction and the moisture doesn't really go anywhere."

The weekend deluge began Friday, when particularly heavy rain led to flood warnings in Hillsborough and Manatee counties.

Particularly hard hit was Plant City, where a section of Trapnell Road in Plant City became submerged, and the Egypt Lake area of northwest Hillsborough County, where streets flooded and at least one car was swept into a ditch. In Manatee County, a roof collapsed at an apartment building in Cortez.

Power outages that day disrupted downtown St. Petersburg traffic and affected more than 3,000 Duke Energy customers in the Old Northeast neighborhood.

Saturday, heavy rain caused an office building roof to collapse at the Icot Center in Clearwater.

And in St. Petersburg, a rain-related break in a sewer line at 7780 62nd Ave. N is causing wastewater to be released into Joe’s Creek and neighboring areas. Residents are being advised to avoid any recreational activity in the waterway until further notice.

As for rainfall totals Saturday, Valrico led the area at 3.99 inches, followed by Pinellas Park at 3.95 inches, Ruskin 3.65 and Kenneth City 3.49. But Zephyhills to the north and Lakeland to the east only received about a half-inch of rain.

Depending on where the rain falls this afternoon, it could get worse before it gets better.

A flood warning for the Manatee River at Rye Ridge has been upped from minor to moderate and runs through Monday afternoon. At 7 a.m. Sunday, the river's level in the area was 13 feet, or two feet above the flood stage. Forecasters said the river will continue rising to 13.3 feet before receding late Monday morning.

Minor flooding of the Alafia River at Lithia and the Little Manatee River at Wimauma have also been reported.

"We'll look for showers and thunderstorms to pop up in the afternoon and evening hours - and perhaps a little farther to the east than yesterday," Clay said. Right over our area, we could have some heavy downpours. The ground is saturated and creeks and the streams and ponds are all full. so that could cause more issues."

The rain chances will remain high Monday and Tuesday, dip Wednesday and climb again Thursday. Work-week temperatures are expected to top out in the mid 80s. Next weekend, however, could bring the first hint of fall.

"We can't take rain out of the forecast all week, although I am a little optimistic that the rain chances will drop later in the week and then, next weekend, a real front will actually come through," Clay said.
