Bloomingale-Riverview residents with big weekend plans must just find the weather cooperative this weekend.

With the soggy rains of July 19 behind us, Saturday and Sunday are expected be much nicer days.

Expect to see, "generally a drying trend,” said meteorologist Andrew Garcia.

That said, Garcia warns that rain chances still exist over the weekend. They’re hovering around 30 to 40 percent for both Saturday and Sunday. But, forecasters anticipate storms will follow a more normal summer afternoon pattern this weekend at least.

So, what about those temperatures?

Garcia said to expect highs in the upper 80s to low 90s in most parts of Tampa Bay. Lows should be in the 70s.
