Residents in the Tampa Bay area should prepare for gusty winds and scattered thunderstorms, which may cause localized disruptions. Wildlife, particularly black skimmer shorebirds, could face challenges as delayed nesting increases their vulnerability to hurricanes later in the season. While the immediate impact on these birds is minimal, prolonged delays in nesting could lead to significant ecological consequences. The FWC has emphasized the importance of protecting these imperiled species, which are already facing population pressures.
