Storms to move in later tonight

SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - We continue to monitor a line of showers with a few thunderstorms which is moving to the SE at 15 mph. This line of showers will be moving into Manatee County after 10 p.m. and will continue to track to the SE and be in Sarasota County around 11 p.m. tonight.

Right now it looks like the severe weather will stay just to our north, however we will have to monitor this line as it moves over the unseasonably warm Gulf waters and moves into our area late tonight. There is a chance we could see one or two of the storms bring some locally heavy rain and some gusty winds up to 30-40 mph at times. The rain chance is at 80%.
