.SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...
Issued at 410 AM EDT Thu Sep 11 2025
A few showers and storms are currently present over the southern
waters this morning. This activity could bring lower clouds and
some rain to coastal areas across SW FL. Meanwhile, a frontal
boundary associated with area of low pressure over the Gulf
remains stalled south of the Tampa Bay area. There should be
plenty of moisture to support showers and storms along and south
of there, as drier air filters down over the Nature Coast. Cloud
coverage should increase through the day with afternoon
temperatures struggling to reach 90 degrees. Northeasterly winds
prevail during this time.
On Friday, similar conditions are anticipated with stalled
boundary moving slightly south and chances of showers shifting
along with it. An upper level trough will push weak low out of the
area and allow drier air to push further south.

.LONG TERM (SAT-WED)...
Issued at 410 AM EDT Thu Sep 11 2025
During the weekend, the drier air will making across most of the
state. Paradise will finally get a break from high rain chances
and clearing skies. Temperatures will remain in the upper 80s with
dewpoints dropping into the 60s along the Nature Coast. Model
guidance brings troughiness to the East Coast later next week and
pockets of higher moisture back into the area.

VFR conditions are anticipated through the morning hours. Light
north to northeasterly winds prevail and become west to northwest
along the coast. Chances of showers and storms increase with
convection developing over the interior and moving south. Pockets
of drier air may limit how much activity develops, however, the
highest chances are expected across SW FL terminals.

.MARINE...
Issued at 410 AM EDT Thu Sep 11 2025
Showers and storms will continue to develop over the waters as a
front remains stalled across the middle of the state supporting
winds in the offshore waters around 10 to 15 knots. This trend
will continue through Friday. After that a strong upper level
trough will push through causing the front to push south. This
will help to keep us dry for the weekend however winds will still
stay around 10 to 15 knots.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 410 AM EDT Thu Sep 11 2025
A frontal boundary remains stalled across central FL bringing ample
moisture to southern portions through the rest of the week. North of
there, pockets of drier air will be present throughout the day.
Northeasterly winds are anticipated most of the period. Then, a
strong upper level trough will push the front south for the weekend
allowing humidity and rain chances to decrease, but remain well above
critical levels.
