not according to any of the airports in the tampa area. The highest sustained wind I can find right now is 23mph at St. Petersberg. There may have been a few brief gusts to TS force in the bands, but you can not consider it TS force unless it is sustained at 39mph or higher.

Here are a few current wind reports from areas around Florida:

Sarasota - sustained at 28mph, gusts to 33mph
Tampa - sustained at 13mph, gusts to 21mph
Punta Gorda - sustained at 19mph, gusts to 29mph
Brooksville - sustained at 13mph
St. Petersburg - sustained at 23mph

Based on this, it looks like a batch of higher winds are just now touching the west coast near St. Petersburg down to Punta Gorda. Expect this batch of winds 20-30mph with higher gusts to spread into most west coast areas within a few hours. The conditions should then gradually get worse from there.

I need some advice.

I have a ticket to fly back to West Palm from Chicago via Tampa tomorrow morning ~9. I could book a refundable one-way non-stop ticket to Ft. Lauderdale that leaves tomorrow morning, instead. (My home in Boynton Beach is ~18 min. from WPB and ~45 min. from FTL.)

Do you think the Tampa airport will be closed tomorrow morning? Would I have a lesser risk of cancellation taking the FTL route?

Originally I had planned to go into work Tuesday afternoon, but that's easy to change. However, I have a 13-hour day on Wednesday which I can't change, and I'm leaving on a Cozumel cruise Thursday afternoon. So I really need to get back home to FL by Tuesday evening.

Thanks for any opinions! :)

Just got back from Ballast Point.

Nothing much to report. The bay is choppy and high - about 1/3 way up the boat ramp. But the winds are nothing to write home about, and the water isn't crashing over the seawall.

There was one crazy person attempting to fish off the small pier near the boat ramp - the big pier is closed for maintenance.

Bayshore is unusually quiet for this time of day.
