Strong to severe thunderstorms, including the threat of tornadoes, are possible Tuesday as Tampa Bay's roller coaster weather pattern continues this winter season.

A cold front associated with a strengthing low-pressure system is forecast to sweep through the area. At this point, the time frame of most concern will be during the afternoon and evening hours.

On land and sea, there are multiple threats: strong to severe storms with damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, large hail, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding and high surf. The area's Gulf beaches have suffered significant beach erosion from many storms, namely since Hurricane Idalia, and additional damage is possible due to the potential for a small surge.
