Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 839 PM EDT Sat Jun 14 2025
New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Drier mid to upper air is starting to move into the region from the N Carib, as seen in TBW and MFL soundings and SAL satellite imagery, that limited this afternoon's seabreeze thunderstorm coverage and intensity with warm and humid surface conditions.
The ongoing showers and thunderstorms are expected to become isolated in nature but linger and move on outflow boundary interactions through around midnight or shortly there after.
Latest grids and forecast on track.
AVIATION
ISOLD slow moving TSRA remain around the area to keep VCTS in most terminals until 03-06Z before clearing overnight as winds back to the SE. Some drier air to move over the region but expect another ISOLD-SCT TSRA again late SUN on the Gulf seabreeze.
DISCUSSION
Upper-level ridging remains across the state this afternoon while the Atlantic ridge axis extends across the central part of the peninsula. This has led to a southeast to south low-level wind flow, with showers and thunderstorms over the Gulf since this morning. For the rest of the day, expect the west coast sea breeze to help initiate additional storms first over southwest Florida and then expanding across the rest of the coast and then inland. Similar to yesterday, the very immediate coast may miss out on the rainfall, but it will likely be pretty close. The better chance for these areas will be after dark when the sea breeze circulation collapses and activity starts to shift back westward.
This overall pattern of southeast wind flow remains in place through the week, though some drier air moves in starting Monday, which will likely limit rainfall coverage. Moisture starts to go back up for the end of the week and then into the weekend, with a return to higher rain chances.
MARINE
Southeast to south winds will turn onshore with the sea breeze each afternoon for the next several days with no headlines expected.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected each day, but rain chances remain highest during the overnight and early morning hours.
FIRE WEATHER
Daily afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are expected with no fire weather concerns. No significant fog is expected.
