Forecasters Monitor Low-Pressure Zone Tracking Toward Florida

We're in for a soggy week in Safety Harbor and across the Tampa Bay region.

The National Weather Service is keeping a watchful eye on a low-pressure zone near the Yucatan Peninsula that could reach Florida mid-week, bringing heavy rain, flooding, gusty winds and tornadoes.

According to the National Weather Service, "this system has the potential to bring multiple hazards to the region this week."

Meanwhile, a hazardous weather outlook was issued Monday for Safety Harbor, stretching across Pinellas County.

Thunderstorms are in the forecast for Monday and Monday night, with the chance of cloud-to-ground lightning and some minor flooding. Afternoon thunderstorms are expected to continue throughout the week.

The forecast for rain and thunder extends from Sarasota County to Tarpon Springs.
