Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Florida
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
345 AM EDT Sat Mar 15 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Conditions will be borderline for a red flag warning today.
Localized areas could see instantaneous conditions exceed criteria,
but the overall humidity values look to remain just above critical
thresholds. Nevertheless, high dispersions are likely today, with
gusty winds that are capable of producing more erratic fire
behavior. As a cold front approaches the area tomorrow, the low-
level moisture will continue to increase, as will the winds. High
dispersions will remain a concern for tomorrow in response. However,
a line of thunderstorms is expected tomorrow afternoon/evening and
continuing into the overnight. Thus red flag conditions are unlikely
tomorrow. With drier weather returning for Monday and winds
remaining gusty, elevated fire weather concerns will continue
through much of the work week.

Fog potential...Patchy ground fog is possible this morning.
Otherwise, fog is not expected.
