| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 721pm EST Fri Jan 16 2026 Issued at 721pm EST Fri Jan 16 2026 Early evening IR satellite imagery is showing clear skies across west central and southwest Florida, while winds become calm as high pressure settles in across the region. Although temperatures tonight will not be as cold as last night, this pattern will allow for strong radiational cooling, with temperatures expected to drop into the mid 30s and approach freezing over the Nature Coast counties, and drop into the upper 30s to around 50 farther south. Frost will also be a concern for the Nature Coast and areas north of Tampa Bay/Interstate 4, but dew points may still be a bit too dry to allow for widespread frost. Some minor changes were made to the mentions of frost tonight and Saturday morning. Otherwise, the forecast looks on track, and no other changes are planned for the evening forecast update. Marine Issued at 1246pm EST Fri Jan 16 2026 Marine conditions have settled after yesterday's gusty winds and will remain benign the rest of today into tomorrow. Saturday night into Sunday morning another cold front will move over the waters, increasing winds to advisory levels once again. Winds will come down from advisory levels to more borderline cautionary levels to begin the week and remain elevated through the week. NOAA Tampa FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None. Gulf waters...None. |
