| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 309am EST Sat Jan 17 2026 Issued at 300am EST Sat Jan 17 2026 Broad troughing aloft encompasses the eastern two-thirds of the CONUS this morning while surface high pressure shifts into the Atlantic with southerly flow setting up locally today ahead of the next approaching cold front. Following a cold start this morning with fairly widespread freeze and frost conditions north of I-4 and spotty conditions southward, the southerly flow and increasing moisture will allow temps to warm into the 70s this afternoon. The short-lived warm up will abrupartly end on Sunday as a strong cold front sweeps across the area in association with a sharp shortwave pushing across the SE U.S. Blustery northerly winds develop late morning into afternoon behind the front resulting in temps mostly holding steady early before falling through the afternoon. Another round of hazardous conditions are expected, initially for mariners during the day as post-frontal winds and seas increase to SCA (Small Craft Advisory) levels, then Sunday night into Monday morning as temps fall below freezing for northern and central locations and dangerous feels like temps develop across the entire area. A Freeze Watch has been issued for Levy County southward through Hillsborough and Polk counties, with a Cold Weather Advisory likely to be required areawide for Monday morning as well, while Hard Freeze potential will exist across parts of the Nature Coast. High pressure slowly treks east across the E U.S. through mid week allowing temps to slowly moderate, although temps will remain below normal during that time before approaching normal to slightly above normal over the latter half of the week as flow veers more easterly allowing Atlantic moisture to increase over the area and rain chances to return ahead of another shortwave and associated frontal system that sweeps across the SE U.S. late in the week. Marine Issued at 300am EST Sat Jan 17 2026 High pressure ridging across the waters from the Atlantic will keep marine conditions below headline criteria through tonight. Winds will increase beginning early Sunday morning ahead of a cold front that will bring chances of rain and Small Craft Advisory conditions Sunday and Sunday night. Conditions will improve on Monday, but a tight pressure gradient will keep winds around Exercise Caution levels through the middle of the week. Fire Weather Issued at 300am EST Sat Jan 17 2026 Moisture recovery continues today as southerly flow is established ahead of a cold front that will push across the state on Sunday. Gusty northerly winds developing across the area behind the front will usher another surge of cool dry air into the state, leading to widespread critical RH values on Monday and Tuesday afternoons before gradually recovering areawide by Wednesday. Elevated winds linger into Monday afternoon but are expected to remain below 15 mph, with Low SFP risk limiting overall fire weather concerns.
