Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
953 AM EDT FRI AUG 12 2016

.MORNING UPDATE...
Light winds will become easterly to southeasterly by this
afternoon with increasing clouds. Much like yesterday,
thunderstorms should develop first along the Florida Atlantic
coast, then drift westward through the early to mid afternoon
hours. Storms look to increase in coverage, especially as the east
and west coast seabreezes collide late this afternoon across west-
central Florida and the Florida gulf coast. Storms will be slow
moving again, and could lead to some localized minor flooding in
areas that have received heavy rains over the last two days. A
strong storm or two may also occur with strong winds and frequent
lightning. A period of stratiform rain will likely develop this
evening into the first part of tonight as storms gradually move
offshore.

PoPs were adjusted through this evening to more closely resemble
convective evolution from yesterday and the day before. Minor
adjustments to temps and winds were also made. Otherwise, the
forecast looks to be largely on track.

&&

.AVIATION(12z TAFs)...
Scattered low stratus and some very patchy fog may persist for
the next couple of hours, before lifting as surface heating
commences. Thereafter, expect scattered VFR ceilings through much
of the early to mid afternoon. Much like the past two days,
scattered thunderstorms will erupt over central Florida and move
westward through the late afternoon and evening, with potential to
affect all terminals in the 20z to 00z timeframe. Will maintain
VCTS for this threat. Local vsby restrictions may briefly fall
into the IFR/LIFR category with stronger storms, which will also
be accompanied by gusty winds and lightning. Storms should move
offshore this evening, though lingering light rain may continue
through around 04z Saturday, especially for terminals nearer the
coast.

&&

MARINE...
Bermuda high pressure will hold over the region through the
weekend and into next week with persistent east to southeast
winds. Winds are expected to increase with an easterly surge in
the evening and overnight hours to bump seas a bit then daily
afternoon seabreezes near the coast. Late afternoon through
evening thunderstorms at the coast to move offshore overnight and
marine storms may locally enhance winds and seas.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Seasonably high moisture content will result in daily chances for
rain, and prevent humidities from reaching critical levels.
Therefore, no fire weather concerns are expected into next week.
