Coastal Waters Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
A strong cold front pushed through yesterday bringing gusty winds and much drier air across the area. This will result in widespread fire danger across the area as RHs away from the coast below 35 percent and winds 10 to 15 mph gusting up to 25. We will continue to see some critical RHs for both Tuesday and Wednesday but winds will be much lower resulting in no Red Flag Warning needed. By Thursday and Friday RHs will be back on the rise again.
Gulf coastal waters from Bonita Beach to the mouth of the Suwannee River out to 60 NM. Important notice to mariners.marine forecasts are issued at least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for the latest marine weather information. The wave heights are forecast as significant wave height which is the average of the highest one-third of the waves. The highest waves may rarely be twice the significant wave height. The winds and seas near thunderstorms may be higher than forecast. &&
