| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 745am EDT Thu April 25 2024 Short Term - Today through Friday Issued at 431am EDT Thu April 25 2024 Another fairly clear and cool morning across the peninsula. Meanwhile, an upper level ridge gradually dominating over the region before sliding and building along the East Coast. As a result, dry air and rain free conditions remain in place over the next several days. Light easterly winds prevailing with an onshore shift each afternoon. In terms of temperatures, highs warm up to around 90 degrees by Friday while dewpoints stay in 60s. This should make conditions feel a little more tolerable. Visitors and residents should be sure to stay hydrated if performing outdoor activities. .LONG TERM (SAT-WED)... Issued at 431am EDT Thu April 25 2024 Going into the weekend, a disturbance moving north of the area could result in an increase in wind speeds as the pressure gradient tightens. Winds should decrease through the first half of the week and the sea breeze returns at least to coastal areas. Afternoon highs remain in the 90s while overnight lows stay in the 60s. Marine Issued at 334am EDT Thu April 25 2024 Ridge of high pressure remains in control across the Gulf waters through the period keeping minimal weather concerns. Easterly winds will become onshore each afternoon remaining below 15 knots with seas of 2 feet and under. Then, the interaction between the ridge and a disturbance moving north of the area, could bring cautionary level winds to the waters for the weekend. Fire Weather Issued at 329am EDT Thu April 25 2024 Area of high pressure continues to dominate across fire districts through the next several days. Minimum humidities are expected to be at critical levels each afternoon. Fairly light easterly winds prevail early becoming westerly behind the afternoon sea breeze.
