| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 806pm EDT Wednesday Oct 28 2026 Issued at 749pm EDT Wednesday Oct 28 2026 Scattered showers have been streaming from the northeast with most of them dissipating as they approach the coast. This trend should continue overnight and into the early morning hours. Similarly, low clouds are anticipated with the potential of a sprinkle or a quick shower during the this time. Almost a carbon copy of today is expected on Thursday with afternoon temperatures in the 80s though clouds should break up into the afternoon and evening. No changes were made as the forecast remains on track. Issued at 243pm EDT Wednesday Oct 28 2026 The upper level low that has been causing our gusty easterly winds will stick around for the rest of our work week. This means we will see very similar conditions each day with gusty winds in the afternoon with some quick passing showers mainly over SW Florida and inland areas. By Saturday, a cold front will start to approach the area which will push the upper level low away from us. However, winds will remain elevated as these two systems keep the pressure gradient tight. As the front moves in we will also see an increase in moisture and shower chances for the weekend. The front itself will push through on Sunday giving us the best chance of rain we have seen in a week or two with most of the area in the 60 to 70 chance of PoPs. We will not see much of cool down behind this system as highs remain near 80 degrees in the afternoon but morning lows should dip back down into the mid 60's. Winds will also finally be calming back down to are average 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. NOAA Tampa FL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories FL...None.
