| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 827am EDT Sat Oct 25 2025 Issued at 1204am EDT Sat Oct 25 2025 Combination of strong surface high pressure over the mid Atlantic region and low pressure over the central Caribbean is creating a tight pressure gradient across the Florida peninsula. Skies will be partly cloudy to mostly clear over west central and southwest Florida today and Sunday, but breezy east winds will prevail each day subsiding away from the coast at night. A chance of showers will develop, mainly over the interior and southwest Florida, Sunday afternoon as scattered showers move onshore the east coast of Florida in the strong easterly flow regime, with shower activity gradually dissipating as it pushes inland. Temperatures will remain several degrees above climatic normals with highs generally in the mid to upper 80s...and lows in the 60s to the lower 70s. Sunday night and Monday, a cold front will approach and push across the forecast area with a chance of showers. Cooler drier air will advect across the region in the wake of the front Monday night and Tuesday. Wednesday and Wednesday night, a deep U/L trough will dig along the eastern seaboard with an associated cold front pushing down the Florida peninsula. The front will have little in the way of moisture to work with, and only a slight chance of a brief shower is expected. The main impact will be gusty northwest winds developing in the wake of the front along with a reinforcing shot of much cooler drier air advecting over the forecast area. High temperatures may only be in the 70s on Thursday with breezy conditions and dew points in the 50s. Thursday night, temperatures may drop into the upper 40s to around 50 across the nature coast, with lows in the 50s away from the coast elsewhere. Highs on Friday will only climb to around 70 north...and the lower to mid 70s central and south. Marine Issued at 1204am EDT Sat Oct 25 2025 Tight pressure gradient across the waters today and Sunday will create hazardous boating conditions...and a SCA (Small Craft Advisory) is in effect for all coastal waters of west central and southwest Florida. On Monday, the gradient will relax allowing winds to drop below SCA levels as a weak cold front pushes across the waters with a slight chance of a shower. During the middle part of the week, a stronger cold front will push across the waters with SCA conditions possible in the wake of the front. Fire Weather Issued at 1204am EDT Sat Oct 25 2025 No fire weather hazards are expected over the weekend and into early next week as low level moisture has recovered, which will keep afternoon relative humidity values above critical levels each day.
