Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Sarasota, FL

UPDATE
Issued at 750 PM EDT Sat Jun 13 2026

Forecast on track this evening requiring no changes. Ongoing showers/storms currently stretch southward from Polk down through parts of Hardee/DeSoto/Highlands counties. Outflow moving generally westward across W FL will maintain a slight chance of a shower or storm for points westward over the next couple of hours before diminishing into tonight.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 334 PM EDT Sat Jun 13 2026 Westerly boundary layer flow will continue through the weekend and into early next week as the surface ridge axis remains across south Florida. This will keep the trend of overnight/early morning showers over the Gulf with the best storm chances inland later in the day as the west coast sea breeze advances eastward. Through the rest of the week, the ridge axis does shift back north a bit and some relatively drier air moves over the region, which will help lower rainfall chances.
