Tampa Bay water levels are expected to experience significant fluctuations as Hurricane Milton moves through the area. The storm's winds are anticipated to cause water levels to vary from low to high, with the potential for a 'reverse surge' due to strong offshore winds.
While the region may avoid a record surge, the core of Hurricane Milton will still have a notable impact on water levels in Tampa Bay. As the storm passes south of Tampa, winds are expected to shift direction, leading to rising water levels in the bay.
