The overall pattern is warm and humid to start, with afternoon thunderstorm chances Tuesday through Friday, followed by a somewhat drier and slightly cooler weekend. Highs begin around 89–90°F before easing into the mid-80s by Sunday and Monday. The National Weather Service also notes that late September in our part of Florida typically remains warm and humid well into October.

Summer isn't quite ready to give up on Brandon.

Expect a warm and humid start to the week, with afternoon thunderstorms possible Tuesday through Friday. Keep an eye out for locally heavy downpours Tuesday, which could briefly leave water standing on area roads. Conditions should improve heading into the weekend, with Saturday looking drier and temperatures gradually backing off. By Sunday and Monday, afternoon highs should settle into the mid-80s—a small but welcome hint that October isn't far away.

Weather Watch: The main concern early this week will be afternoon thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall. As always, lightning can develop quickly with Florida storms.

Planning Ahead: Outdoor plans look more favorable this weekend, particularly Saturday.
