FXUS62 KTBW 151831 AFDTBW
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 231 PM EDT Sun Jun 15 2025
DISCUSSION
Not much change to the forecast philosophy from yesterday. A southeast to south low-level flow remains in place across the region with the Atlantic ridge axis across the central part of the peninsula and a few showers and storms have been ongoing over the Gulf since this morning. As we head through the rest of the day, we should see a bit more storm coverage than yesterday as this morning's sounding came in with a higher PW value. The pattern should be pretty similar, however, with most activity pushing away from the immediate coast through the afternoon, followed by some storms moving back toward the coast overnight. Hi-res models also show some additional storms forming over the Gulf and near or over the coast toward daybreak.
Through the rest of the forecast period, southeast flow remains in place, though some relatively drier air is still forecast to move in starting Monday, leading to decreased rain chances. Moisture goes back up for the end of the week and then into next weekend, with rain chances going back up.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Best storm chances remain for southwest Florida sites and KLAL for the rest of the day, with another round overnight into early Monday morning for Tampa Bay area sites, though these could also remain just offshore. VFR conditions continue outside of convection, while gusty winds and MVFR/IFR conditions are possible with any storms over the terminals.
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.
