Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Lealman, FL

UPDATE
Issued at 657 PM EST Wed Feb 11 2026

Despite a weak front moving through earlier today, really the only notable difference from last night is that the surface moisture has increased. This favors greater fog coverage across the region overnight. Thus, the main question is if winds near the coast will become light enough for fog to develop near and along the coast, or if this region will only see low clouds. Ensembles are hovering around a 50-50 chance.

Overall, the forecast is consistent with these expectations and remains on track. No adjustments are needed at this time.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 116 PM EST Wed Feb 11 2026

A little shift in the patter today as an upper level disturbance moves across the region, bringing some extra moisture. A weak cold front will also drift south over North Florida today, stalling over the region into Friday. A few isolated showers could be possible tonight into tomorrow. Fog will also be likely overnight tonight into tomorrow morning, with some areas being dense causing low visibility for the morning commute. Sea fog could also develop along the nature coast then move south towards Tampa Bay early in the morning.

Over the weekend another cold front will move through bringing a better chance of rain Sunday into Monday. A few thunderstorms could also be possible as the system moves through. Unlike the previous cold fronts, temperatures will only drop a couple degrees behind the front as dry air moves in. High pressure builds back in by Tuesday keeping conditions warm and dry through mid week.
