... Lake Wind Advisory in effect from 10 am this morning to 7 PM EST this evening...
The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay area - Ruskin FL has issued a lake Wind Advisory... which is in effect from 10 am this morning to 7 PM EST this evening.
A strong pressure gradient remains in place due to high pressure north of the area and Hurricane Ida moving into the central Gulf. Winds will increase by the late morning to 20 to 25 mph with higher gusts expected.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A lake Wind Advisory is issued when sustained winds are forecast to be 20 to 29 mph with frequent gusts to near or above gale force for at least 3 hours. Winds of these magnitudes will create rough conditions on larger area lakes which could produce damage to... or flip... small pleasure craft.
Outdoor enthusiasts may wish to postpone lake related activities until conditions improve.
