AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL
834 PM EST SUN NOV 8 2009

UPDATED TO EXTEND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY OVER THE TAMPA BAY WATERS
UNTIL 4 AM EST.

...KEEPING AN EYE ON IDA....

LATEST NHC BULLETIN REGARDING THE PROGRESS OF IDA STILL SHOWS THE
TROPICAL CYCLONE MOVING ON A GENERALLY NORTH-NORTHWEST TRACK DURING
THE NEXT 12 HOURS. SO FAR...IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT IDA WILL HAVE
A DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR AREA WITH THE BRUNT OF THE STRONG WINDS
REMAINING WELL TO THE WEST OF THE FL PENINSULA. ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE...HAZARD
POTENTIAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE HANDLED WITH LOCAL NON-TROPICAL
PRODUCTS.

OVER LAND...WINDS ARE GRADUALLY DECREASING AND THE LAKE WIND
ADVISORY WAS ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. SKIES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN
GENERALLY CLOUDY FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS U/L
OUTFLOW FROM IDA WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM ACROSS THE REGION.

IN GENERAL...BENIGN CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. WINDS WILL PICK UP
AGAIN DURING THE MID MORNING HOURS AND ANOTHER LAKE WIND ADVISORY
MIGHT BE NEEDED FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON. CURRENT FORECAST PACKAGE LOOKS
GOOD AND ONLY MINOR UPDATES WILL BE PERFORMED FOR THE IMMEDIATE 24
HOUR PERIOD.

.PREVIOUS SHORT TERM DISCUSSION...

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BEGIN TO MOVE OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST TONIGHT AND MONDAY WHILE
HURRICANE IDA MOVES NORTH NORTHWEST ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF OF
MEXICO.  PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE SURFACE HIGH AND IDA WILL
CREATE STRONG GUSTY EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA ON MONDAY.  A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE
NEEDED MONDAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.  IDA WILL PASS WELL
WEST OF THE AREA ON MONDAY AND RAINBANDS ON THE EXTREME EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF IDA SHOULD ONLY AFFECT THE OFFSHORE COASTAL WATERS.

THERE REMAINS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EVOLUTION OF
HURRICANE IDA IN THE LONGER RANGE...BUT AS IDA TRANSITIONS TO AN
EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NEAR THE WESTERN
FLORIDA PENINSULA AND BEGINS TO MAKE A TURN TOWARD THE EAST...THIS
SHOULD PUSH RAINBANDS OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO ONSHORE WEST
CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THE NATURE COAST ON TUESDAY.  ALONG WITH LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN...DYNAMICS APPEAR STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE RISK OF ISOLATED
TORNADOES MAINLY NORTH OF TAMPA.  AS THE WINDS SHIFT TO THE SOUTH
AND SOUTHWEST...TIDES MAY BECOME A FOOT OR TWO ABOVE NORMAL MAINLY
NORTH OF TAMPA.

&&

.AVIATION....AVIATION...OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. THE EASTERLY WINDS WILL DECREASE SOME
TONIGHT THEN INCREASE AGAIN TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 KNOTS WITH SOME
HIGHER GUSTS MONDAY MORNING INTO MID-AFTERNOON. COULD ALSO SEE A FEW
SHOWERS MONDAY AFTERNOON CAUSING BRIEF MVFR CONDITIONS.

&&

.MARINE...CONDITIONS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE AS IDA CROSSES INTO THE CENTRAL GULF. WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE TO AROUND 30 KNOTS OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS WITH
FREQUENT GUSTS TO NEAR TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH...AND SEAS POSSIBLY
REACHING 10 FEET OR HIGHER.  WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE ON
LATE TUESDAY AS IDA MOVES OVER LAND.

&&

.TBW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FL...NONE.

GULF WATERS...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM EST TUESDAY FOR
              BONITA BEACH TO ENGLEWOOD OUT 20 NM-BONITA BEACH TO
