Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 900am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 Issued at 149am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 Some residual U/L moisture persists across the region in the wake of a cold front, and is creating pockets of low clouds and patchy fog across portions of west central Florida. The clouds/fog will lift around or shortly after sunrise with skies becoming sunny the remainder of today across the entire forecast area. Aloft, an U/L trough over the eastern U.S. will move over the western Atlantic during the next few days. As the southern extent of the trough exits the Florida peninsula, this will allow heigheights to build with weak ridging developing over the area ahead of the next upstream southern stream disturbance. The aforementioned U/L disturbance will push slowly across the Southern Plains Thursday night and Friday. The disturbance will begin to shear out as it moves across the southeast U.S and Florida over the weekend. Quasi-zonal flow will develop across the CONUS early next week with strong westerlies entering the California coast...and a series of disturbances riding quickly across the central U.S. through mid week. At the surface, high pressure will build over west central and southwest Florida today with drier air advecting across the region...and dew points dropping into the 50s under sunny skies. The surface high will move off the mid Atlantic coast late Thursday and Friday. This will cause boundary layer winds to veer to the east and southeast which will gradually increase boundary layer moisture a bit each day. As the U/L disturbance approaches the region over the weekend, atmospheric instability will gradually increase...and combined with deeper moisture advecting over the area, a chance of showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible, with the best chance on Sunday. Although the U/L disturbance will be exiting the region late in the weekend, southwest flow and residual moisture over the area will still create a slight chance of showers on Monday. On Tuesday, a weak cold front will push across the region with a continued chance of showers. High pressure will build over the region in the wake of the front mid week, with drier slightly cooler air advecting across west central and southwest Florida. Temperatures will run several degrees above climatic normals each day throughout the forecast period. Marine Issued at 149am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 High pressure will build over the waters today and will hold over the area through the end of the week with relatively benign conditions each day. A weak disturbance will move across the region over the weekend with an increasing chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Winds and seas will also increase a bit, but are expected to remain below cautionary levels through the forecast period. Fire Weather Issued at 149am EDT Wednesday Mar 26 2025 Drier air will advect across west central and southwest Florida today with dew points dropping into the 50s. This combined with warm temperatures in the 80s will cause relative humidity values to drop below critical levels away from the coast this afternoon. No red flag conditions are expected as winds will remain less than 15 MPH. Dew points will recover a bit on Thursday, however minimum afternoon relative humidity values will drop below critical levels across the nature coast and portions of west central Florida. Again, winds are expected to remain below 15 MPH. NOAA Tampa FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. Gulf waters...None. |
