Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
300 AM EDT Tue Aug 19 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Today and especially Wednesday will be the driest days of the week
as Erin passes to the east. Given the distance from the storm, winds
are expected to remain light, and low-level moisture will still
remain well above critical thresholds. However, dispersions are
expected to be rather high on Wednesday. Otherwise, scattered to
numerous thunderstorms are expected each day, especially during the
afternoon and early evening hours. For Thursday through the weekend,
a west to southwest flow will setup across the area with rain chances
near the coast during the late night and morning hours moving inland
into the interior and eastern half of the Florida peninsula each
afternoon and evening.

Fog potential...No significant fog is expected.
