Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
204 AM EDT Wed May 24 2017

.AVIATION...
SW flow will be in place through the period, with winds
increasing to rather breezy conditions for the daytime
hours. Rain will be moving into the northern terminals in
the next few hours and thunderstorm chances will increase
for the afternoon and evening. MVFR conditions will prevail
through much of the period.

&&

.Prev Discussion... /issued 838 PM EDT Tue May 23 2017/

UPDATE...
An upper-level low continues to spin over Iowa this evening and will
continue to drop southward through tonight, with increasing cyclonic
flow over the area. At the surface, the ridge axis has been shunted
to south of the state as low pressure moves through the southeast
with a trailing cold front. We had just a few scattered sea breeze
showers and thunderstorms inland today, but most areas remained dry.
We are now starting to see some scattered cells across our northern
counties this evening as the features mentioned above continue their
approach. Although the best dynamics will not be over the area until
tomorrow, some of the storms overnight could be on the strong side,
and the Storm Prediction Center has outlined the Nature Coast area in
a marginal risk for severe weather. Overall, the forecast is on
track, but did make some minor edits to the PoP and Wx grids for
tonight and tomorrow.

AVIATION...
VFR conditions are generally expected through most of tonight. An
approaching cold front will bring deteriorating conditions to the
region for much of Wednesday, with lowered cig and vis in showers and
thunderstorms possible starting in the morning and continuing through
the forecast period. Southwest winds will increase through the day,
with gusts to around 30 knots expected.

MARINE...
Marine conditions will continue to deteriorate tonight into Thursday
as a cold front approaches the region and moves south through the
waters. Southwest winds will increase to around 20 knots tonight and
then to 20 to 25 knots on Wednesday with gusts to gale force likely.
Shower and thunderstorm activity is likely starting tonight and
continuing through the first part of Thursday. Once the front passes
through, winds and seas will decrease for the end of the week and
into this weekend as high pressure builds over the region.
