Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 221 PM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025
DISCUSSION
High pressure is building back in over the area this afternoon, with a southeast low-level flow continuing today. Showers and storms have already begun to pop up and will continue to increase in coverage through the rest of the afternoon and evening, especially closer to the coast.
For Friday and through the weekend, ridging aloft will build directly over the state, with increased subsidence and relatively drier air keeping rain chances below normal each day. This will allow high temperatures to climb and heat indices to approach criteria as well. The ridge will then shift westward early next week, with moisture returning to the region along with rain chances going back up. Flow looks to be more onshore for these days, which would keep the highest rain chances inland.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Scattered thunderstorms are developing across the region and could affect any terminals through the afternoon and evening and will keep TEMPO groups in place to account for this. A quiet overnight is expected, then storm coverage is expected to be lower for tomorrow afternoon/evening.
MARINE
Southeast to south winds will continue over the waters through the next few days, turning onshore with the sea breeze in the afternoon.
Conditions are expected to remain below headlines, but daily showers and storms are expected, with locally higher winds and seas.
FIRE WEATHER
No fire weather concerns as relative humidity values will remain above critical levels. Warm and humid summertime conditions will continue, with scattered showers and thunderstorms each day.
