Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Pineland, FL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 228 PM EDT Sun May 17 2026

Comparing yesterday morning Skew-t to this morning you can see moisture has been increasing in the mid levels. This has brought our PW up from 1.13 to 1.5 today. This extra moisture and our favorable wind flow out of the southeast should give us some welcomed scatted showers and storms across the West Coast of Florida. We are also seeing a marginal risk of severe weather today with the main concern will be stronger winds within the thunderstorms.

As we head into our work week the moisture will be unchanged but winds will be shifting more northeast. The northeasterly flow typically pushes much of the seabreeze thunderstorm activity down to Southwest Florida. Because of this we can expect scattered showers and storms each afternoon in Southwest Florida with some isolated storms along West Central Florida and inland areas through Thursday.

By Friday and Saturday we will see an upper level low develop near the Bahamas. This will help to give the whole area scattered shower and thunderstorm chances through the afternoon and evening.
