Suncoast Sunday Guide: Morning Markets, Afternoon Storms, and Two Tropical Waves to Watch

SHARE NOW

Sunday on the Suncoast starts with a bright, sunny morning and calm conditions at the beach. The rip current risk is low, making it a perfect day for early morning sand time before scattered thunderstorms develop later in the afternoon. The heat and humidity will build through the day, so plan your outdoor activities before 2 PM if you want to stay dry.

Families have two great market options today. The Lakewood Ranch Farmers Market runs from 10 AM to 2 PM and features live music from Jake & Ariel along with interactive STEM activities hosted by the BotTanks robotics team. It’s a great mix of local shopping and hands-on learning for kids. Meanwhile, the Wellen Park Farmers Market in Venice is open from 9 AM to 1 PM for those on the south side. Coquina Beach Market is on summer break and returns October 1st.

Looking ahead, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves in the Atlantic. One has a 20% chance of development, while the other has a 40% chance of becoming a tropical depression by next week. Neither poses an immediate threat, but drier Saharan air moves in Tuesday, which will lower rain chances for the rest of the week. What’s your plan for this Sunday morning before the storms roll in?
