Here’s what flooding looks like around Tampa Bay on Wednesday

Heavy thunderstorms dumped rain over much of the Tampa Bay area Wednesday afternoon, stranding motorists and prompting a flood advisory for areas including Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties.

According to the National Weather Service’s Tampa Bay office, 2-3 inches of rain have fallen so far, with an additional 1-2 inches expected. The flood advisory is in effect until 7:45 p.m.

Tampa Bay is in the middle of peak rainy season, when meteorologists expect about two-thirds of the area’s annual rainfall will occur.

The region has seen more rain than normal this summer, thanks in part to Hurricane Debby. The storm, which passed by Tampa Bay as a tropical storm, dumped up to 14 inches of rain in parts of Pinellas County and 10 inches in Hillsborough County. The deluge of rain has made it difficult for the ground to soak up all the water.
