Winds will remain out of the south and southeast for Tuesday and Wednesday around 5 to 10 knots. Some slightly lower dewpoints will result in no sea fog concerns overnight. However, Tuesday night into Wednesday morning we will see a cold fort approaching the area. This will result in some fog possible across our water ways. The cold front will push through Wednesday night and even though sea fog won`t be much of a concern winds will be. Winds starting on Wednesday will shift to the north between 15 to 25 knots. These breezy conditions will last through Friday. && $$ GMZ830-250730- Tampa Bay waters- 125 PM EST Mon Nov 24 2025 .THIS AFTERNOON...Northwest winds around 5 knots.
