BRADENTON – Weather Underground is predicting fair weather over the course of the weekend. FWC researchers are looking to anglers to provide them with tarpon DNA data. Over 2,500 people have downloaded a new lionfish app to report successful catches and sightings to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Comission. FWC officers arrested a Riveria Beach man after he allegedly stole nearly 300 sea turtle eggs from a St. Lucie County beach.

A surface trough across southern Florida early this morning lifts north...reaching the Gulf Coast Friday as Atlantic high pressure ridges in across Florida. The trough dissipates over the weekend as the ridge moves to along latitude 30 north then resides there into early next week. The ridge will be broad with a relaxed gradient...keeping winds and seas benign and allowing sea breezes near the coast. However... locally higher winds and seas will be possible near strong storms.
