371 FXUS62 KTBW 011644 AFDTBW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 1244 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER... .KEY MESSAGES... - Much cooler and drier air continues through the weekend. - Next rain chance comes late Sunday into Monday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 Broad low pressure is centered aloft over the central U.S. this afternoon while surface high pressure remains in control over the southeast. This has kept the weather quite beautiful today, with sunny skies and highs in the 70s area-wide with low dew points. For Sunday into Monday, the low pressure aloft will dig southward, with a weak surface low eventually forming off the southeast coast. This will bring a pretty weak frontal boundary across Florida late tomorrow night into Monday, with just a few accompanying showers as moisture will increase just enough, though most areas will remain dry. After increasing slightly for Sunday ahead of the boundary, temperatures will drop back down a couple of degrees for Monday behind it. We will then see a warming trend starting Tuesday, with high pressure dominating and highs getting back near normal values and then slightly above normal late in the week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period. && .MARINE... Issued at 1234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 Northeast winds will remain over the waters through Sunday before a weak frontal boundary moves through the region Sunday night into Monday.

Conditions will remain below headlines until early Monday morning into Tuesday, when winds increase to exercise caution/advisory levels before decreasing again for the latter part of the week. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1234 PM EDT Sat Nov 1 2025 A weak cold front will move through the region tomorrow night into Monday, bringing a chance for a few showers, but overall, no fire weather concerns as relative humidity values will remain above critical levels.
