WolfStock1 Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 Port Manatee - south side of Tampa Bay - is actually seeing a *reverse* surge! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 Possible places like Winter Haven/Lakeland/Bartow see worse winds that the Tampa metro based on the way the eye wall could track from east northeast of Sarasota 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotair Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 @EngagewithErin Tampa Bay water levels to swing wildly as Milton passes. While it appears that Tampa Bay will avoid the record surge feared if Milton passed north or directly into the bay, the proximity of Milton’s core will still significant change the bay’s water levels. Strong winds blowing offshore will likely lead to “reverse surge” – or extremely low water levels as the winds blow water out of the bay and into the ocean until the storm passes late tonight. But after the eye of the storm passes south of Tampa overnight, the winds over the Bay will change direction and start to blow from a more westerly direction. This will occur as the tide is also rising ahead of the normal high tide around 6 a.m ET. Water levels are projected to rise 6 feet in 6 hours on Thursday morning, according to NOAA forecasts. At this time, water levels are not expected to reach the heights observed in Hurricane Helene two weeks ago. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted October 10, 2024 Share Posted October 10, 2024 Eastern eyewall has crossed the coast. Should have official landfall within an hour a short distance south of Sarasota. Water should be rising quickly now along the coast south of landfall especially from Venice to Sanibel. Charlotte Harbor should see a fast rise over the next 1-2 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme rain will result in localized fresh water flooding in the usual areas.

Just thankful it’s not an issue for most in Tampa Bay as had been widely feared. The concern over extreme record winds and record surge in TB just did not materialize. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately landfall is about when I thought the serious water rises would start down there. About when the wind shifts direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
