Yes, you will levitate
Tempestuous Magic (XGtE, 52) states (my emphasis):
Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause whirling gusts of elemental air to briefly surround you, immediately before or after you cast a spell of 1st level or higher.
In the case you describe, you are triggering the whirling gusts immediately before you cast levitate (PHB, 255). This will allow you to rise up 10' and then have the spell increase your height by up to 20'.

1\$\begingroup\$ @Someone_Evil I"m not actually sure. The line does read "An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Constitution saving throw is unaffected." Which implies that a willing creature can be willing, but it doesn't actually say it. However, it's loose enough that I think I can remove that bit about failure. \$\endgroup\$– NotArchCommented Mar 30, 2020 at 14:41

\$\begingroup\$ Side note: technically, you can use the 10' fly after you Levitate as well. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 30, 2020 at 16:57
