Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 233 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER
KEY MESSAGES
- Patchy fog potentially developing this morning.
- Slightly cooler conditions coming over the weekend and into next week following a weak cold front.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 229 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
A cold front will continue to move south over Florida through the rest of the morning. The development of low clouds and patchy fog has been occurring along the frontal boundary and may continue to be a nuisance throughout the morning, especially inland areas.
The frontal passage will likely remain mostly rain-free though an isolated shower developing is possible.
As the front moves south, out of the area later today, high pressure will build back in. A drier air mass will begin to filter in over the area throughout the day. Slightly cooler conditions are expected overnight tonight with areas north of I-4 dropping into the low 50s with low 60s expected elsewhere.
The quiet and pleasant conditions continue into next week. Moisture begins to increase mid week ahead of a second front that is expected to move through Thursday into Friday. This front will bring a slightly higher chance for showers. Even cooler air is expected to move in following the front next week. Current models are indicating some of the lowest temperatures so far this season occurring next weekend. Northern portions of the forecast area could dip down into the 40s.
AVIATION
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 229 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
Mostly VFR conditions prevail. The only exception will be the development of low clouds and patchy fog which could temporarily bring MVFR/IFR conditions to sites. Low clouds and patchy fog should lift by mid morning, allowing for VFR conditions to prevail once again.
MARINE
Issued at 229 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
A cold front continues to push through the area this morning, though marine impacts remain minimal. Winds will shift more northerly following the front and increase to 10 to 15 kts. Winds will likely remain 10 to 15 kts through the week.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 229 AM EST Sat Nov 7 2026
Fire weather concerns remain minimal even considering the drier air that will filter in following the front moving through today.
