Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
200 PM EDT Mon Aug 18 2025
.DISCUSSION...
Tomorrow and especially Wednesday are 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. Otherwise, scattered to
numerous thunderstorms should be expected each day, especially
during the afternoon hours. However, higher rain chances are in
the forecast along the coast for Thursday and Friday mornings with
a WSW wind flow. Overall, fire weather concerns are low.
Fog potential...No significant fog is expected.
