Tampa Bay Marine Forecast
FORECAST FOR GMZ830 CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 135pm EDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Issued at 132pm EDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Today's forecast remains on track with the main concern being the strong, gusty winds causing hazardous marine conditions. The elevated, gusty northeast to east winds are expected to continue through tomorrow before relaxing a little on Sunday. The higher winds are attributed to tight pressure gradient between a high pressure system over the Eastern Seabord and a weak tropical wave over the Bahamas. Currently the National Hurricane Center has a very low chance of the tropical wave developing into a tropical system as it moves NW from the Bahamas over Florida this weekend. No significant impacts are expected from this wave. It may provide a little extra moisture for afternoon shower development over the weekend, especially along the interior. Otherwise, the wave lifts out of the region by the beginning of the week and a ridge builds back in. This will allow afternoon temperatures to increase and drop rain chances. By the end of next week, some models are hinting at a cold front dipping down into Florida, that could drop temperatures by a few degrees. However, it is a little early to get too excited about fall like temperatures just yet. Marine Issued at 132pm EDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Hazardous marine conditions into the weekend as the pressure gradient remains tight between an high pressure to the north and a tropical wave to the south. The winds subside slightly on Sunday, but will likely remain around cautionary levels into next week. Fire Weather Issued at 132pm EDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Fire weather concerns remain minimal as plenty of moisture lingers over the area. However, winds out of the northeast and east, do remain elevated the next few days. NOAA Tampa FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None.
