AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL
420 AM EDT MON OCT 29 2012

.SHORT TERM (TODAY - WEDNESDAY)...
CURRENTLY AT THE SURFACE...HURRICANE SANDY IS LOCATED 285 MILES
EAST OF NORFOLK VIRGINIA WITH A WELL DEFINED EYE EVIDENT IN
INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY. MEANWHILE...STRONG SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE STRETCHES FROM NORTHERN ONTARIO SOUTHWARD INTO THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS PUTS THE FORECAST AREA IN A BRISK
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW
STRATOCUMULUS DEVELOPING DUE TO COLD AIR ADVECTION OVER THE WARMER
GULF WATERS AND PUSHING ONSHORE ALONG THE COAST FROM HERNANDO
COUNTY SOUTHWARD. GIVEN THE LIMITED DEPTH TO THE
STRATOCUMULUS...AS SEEN IN KTBW 06Z SOUNDING SHOWING VERY DRY AIR
ABOVE 875 MILLIBARS...ALONG WITH LACK OF ANY RETURNS ON
RADAR...DON/T THINK ANY SPRINKLES OR LIGHT SHOWERS ARE MAKING
THERE WAY ONSHORE FOR THE TIME BEING. MAIN NEAR TERM CONCERNS FOR
TODAY REVOLVE AROUND THE NUMEROUS HEADLINES DUE TO THE BRISK
NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...
HURRICANE SANDY WILL MAKE AN ABRUPT TURN TOWARD THE NORTHWEST THIS
MORNING AND PUSH INTO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
EARLY THIS EVENING. SANDY WILL THEN CONTINUE TO SHIFT INLAND ACROSS
SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA OR NORTHERN MARYLAND TONIGHT.
MEANWHILE...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER
THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY...WITH BRISK NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
CONTINUING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT.

EXPECT GENERALLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS INTERIOR ZONES...WITH PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES ALONG THE COAST AS GULF EFFECT STRATOCUMULUS CONTINUES
TO PUSH ONSHORE DUE TO NORTHWESTERLY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW. BOUNDARY
LAYER FLOW WILL SHIFT A BIT MORE ONSHORE TONIGHT...AND THIS SHOULD
BRING MORE GULF EFFECT STRATOCUMULUS ONSHORE...WITH SKIES BECOMING
MOSTLY CLOUDY ALONG THE COAST WHILE REMAINING CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY
ACROSS FAR INTERIOR ZONES. IN ADDITION TO THE STRATOCUMULUS...WITH
SOME FORCING FOR ASCENT PROVIDED BY SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROUNDING THE
BASE OF THE DEEP CLOSED UPPER LOW ASSOCIATED WITH SANDY...ALONG WITH
H85 TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO BETWEEN +1C AND +3C RESULTING IN DELTA
T/S OF 22 TO 24C...WOULD EXPECT AT LEAST SOME SPRINKLES TO PUSH
ONSHORE INTO COASTAL ZONES. AS A RESULT...WILL INCLUDE OCCASIONAL
SPRINKLES AFTER MIDNIGHT IN COASTAL ZONES FROM PINELLAS COUNTY
SOUTHWARD...WITH RAIN FREE CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE QUITE COOL TODAY...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 60S ACROSS
NORTHERN AREA TO THE LOWER 70S ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN ZONES. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S ACROSS FAR NORTHERN INTERIOR
LOCALES TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 40S ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
INTERIOR LOCALES...TO AROUND 50 TO THE MID 50S CLOSER TO THE COAST.

AS FOR HEADLINES TODAY...WILL ISSUE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR SEAS OF
5+ FEET IN THE SURF ZONE. THE HIGH SURF IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. ADDITIONALLY...WILL KEEP THE BEACH HAZARDS
STATEMENT GOING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT DUE TO A HIGH RISK FOR RIP
CURRENTS. DUE TO THE GUSTY WINDS...WILL ISSUE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY
FOR ALL ZONES TODAY THROUGH 7 PM. SEE FIRE WEATHER AND MARINE
SECTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL HEADLINES.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
SANDY OR THE REMNANTS OF THE SYSTEM WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD
THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY BUILDS INTO THE CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN GULF. EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS TO START THE DAY
TUESDAY ACROSS COASTAL AREAS FROM PASCO COUNTY SOUTHWARD DUE TO GULF
STRATOCUMULUS...WITH CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES ELSEWHERE. EXPECT
DECREASING CLOUDINESS THROUGH THE DAY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS THE
BEST FORCING FOR ASCENT SHIFTS OUT OF THE AREA AND LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY DECREASES AS H85 TEMPS BEGIN TO RISE SLIGHTLY. WILL
CARRY A MENTION OF OCCASIONAL SPRINKLES TUESDAY MORNING FOR COASTAL
LOCALES FROM PINELLAS COUNTY SOUTHWARD...WITH RAIN FREE CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH THEN PUSH THROUGH THE REGION PROVIDING SOME
FORCING FOR ASCENT ALONG WITH SOME DEEPER MOISTURE AFTER MIDNIGHT
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS IN COMBINATION WITH
LINGERING INSTABILITY OVER THE GULF...DELTA T/S AROUND 17 OR 18C
ALONG WITH MORE FAVORABLE WEST-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL LIKELY RESULT
IN SOME SHOWER DEVELOPMENT PUSHING ONSHORE. AS A RESULT...HAVE
INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR GULF EFFECT SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT
TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. SHOULD SEE SHOWERS END BY NOON ON
WEDNESDAY AS BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WEAKENS...INSTABILITY
DECREASES...AND LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT MOVES OUT OF THE
AREA...SO WILL KEEP THE FORECAST RAIN FREE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

ANOTHER COOL DAY IS EXPECTED TUESDAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID AND
UPPER 60S ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ZONES...AND IN THE LOWER 70S
ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT WILL GENERALLY BOTTOM OUT
IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S ACROSS INTERIOR LOCALES AND IN THE MID
50S TO AROUND 60 CLOSER TO THE COAST. HIGHS WEDNESDAY WILL MODERATE
INTO THE MID AND UPPER 70S.

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY)...
A SERIES OF SHORT WAVE TROUGHS MOVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE DEEP
LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WILL HELP TO PUSH A FEW COLD
FRONTS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD...WITH
THE FIRST FRONT MOVING THROUGH ON THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW LIMITED
MOISTURE ACCOMPANYING THE FIRST FRONT SO WILL ONLY DEPICT SPRINKLES
IN THE ZONES WITH ITS PASSAGE (POPS LESS THAN 20 PERCENT) AND NIL
RAIN MENTION ON SATURDAY WITH THE SECONDARY FRONT AS EVEN LESS
MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE VIA MODEL CROSS-SECTIONS.

DURING SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK VERY PLEASANT DRY WEATHER IS
EXPECTED AS THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN U.S. FINALLY LIFTS
OUT TO THE NORTHEAST AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST AND
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE GREAT LAKES SOUTH TO THE
NORTHERN GULF. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH
HIGHS CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S...WHILE THE DRY AIR
MASS AND MOSTLY CLEAR NIGHTS WILL ALLOW NIGHTTIME LOWS TO FALL TO
BELOW NORMAL WITH LOWS FALLING INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S ACROSS
THE NATURE COAST...AND LOWER TO MID 50S CENTRAL AND SOUTH.

&&

.AVIATION...
A LARGE CANOPY OF COOL AIR STRATO-CU CLOUDS ADVECTING IN OFF THE
GULF THIS MORNING WILL PRODUCE BROKEN TO OVERCAST CEILINGS AT ALL
OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH SUNRISE...BUT CEILING HEIGHTS AOA 3000 FEET
WILL MAINTAIN VFR. THE STRATO-CU DECK WILL BREAK UP AFTER SUNRISE
WITH VFR EXPECTED THE REMAINDER OF THE TAF FORECAST PERIOD WITH JUST
A FEW TO SCATTERED CLOUDS EXPECTED. NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE 15 TO 20
KNOT RANGE WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 30/00Z
WITH WINDS DIMINISHING INTO THE 12 TO 15 KNOT RANGE AFTER 30/00Z.

&&

.MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL MARINE ZONES THROUGH
TUESDAY DUE TO STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. COULD SEE WINDS REMAIN AT
SMALL CRAFT LEVELS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE MARINE AREA...BUT DIMINISHING WINDS ARE THEN
EXPECTED FOR LATE WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WEAKENS OVER THE AREA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE COMBINATION OF DRY AIR AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PROVIDE RED FLAG
CONDITIONS FOR MUCH OF THE REGION TODAY AND POSSIBLY AGAIN ON
TUESDAY. AS A RESULT...WILL KEEP THE RED FLAG WARNINGS GOING FOR
FOR ALL ZONES ASIDE FROM PINELLAS TODAY. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
WILL CONTINUE FOR ALL ZONES EXCEPT FOR PINELLAS FOR TUESDAY.
