Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
409 AM EST Sun Jan 22 2017

...Enhanced Risk of Severe Thunderstorms Today...
...Gale Warning for Dangerous Coastal Marine Conditions
today through Monday...
...Hazardous Lake Conditions Today through Tuesday...
...Minor Coastal Flooding possible today around high
tide...

.SHORT TERM...
Current WV imagery showing vigorous upper low clearly
spinning from the Southern Plains towards the region pushed
by strong 100+ kt southern stream jet. The potent Deep
South storm system gathering strength over the Southern
Mississippi River Valley early this morning will move
eastward today and tonight producing dangerous severe
weather through the region. Warm front extends over the
FL/GA line while cold front and pre frontal line of
convection is moving through coastal LA at this time.

As the upper low quickly deepens and moves through the
region today with significant troughing into the northern
gulf as jet streak increases to 110+ kts and a series of
strong vort maxes wrap over the area produce organized
squall line for enhanced risk of severe storms mainly this
afternoon into the evening hours aided by 50-60kt low level
jet over C and SW FL. May also generate discrete strong-
severe cells ahead of main line.

SPC day 1 outlook has shifted the Enhanced Risk for severe
thunderstorms further southward and continues to include
potential for supercells with bowing segments capable of
damaging winds, large hail and possibly tornadoes with the
activity today.

Rainfall of 1-2 inches can be expected with locally higher
amounts expected in stronger thunderstorms.

Coastal flooding of 2-3 ft is expected ahead of the squall
line and with the breezy SW flow off the E Gulf especially
around the late afternoon into early evening high tide
today.

Large breaking waves of 3-5 ft today, then 5-7 ft Monday,
and 4-6 ft into Tuesday at area beaches will produce a high
risk of rip currents and dangerous high surf. Residents and
beach goers are advised to stay out of the water.

Strong and gusty winds will produce hazardous conditions on
area lakes today through monday.

Tonight may still see some light rain showers as upper
energy continue to wrap over the area as the cold front
finally sweeps over the state. Very tight pressure gradient
remains over the area Monday to keep the breezy conditions
in place with drier and not as warm temps.

.Long Term (Monday Night - Saturday)...
By Monday night, an amplified mid level trough axis will be pushing
east of Florida into the Atlantic, while broad ridging builds into
the western and central Gulf of Mexico. At the surface, a cooler and
drier air mass will be filling into the Florida Peninsula in the
wake of the departing cold front, with colder temperatures forecast,
although they will really only drop to near normal Monday night and
Tuesday before warming back up to several degrees above normal by
midweek. With the drier air and high pressure filling in, rain
chances will remain near zero Monday night through Wednesday.

Wednesday night, another mid level trough will be rotating into the
central and southern Mississippi River Valley, with a surface cold
front sweeping across the northern Gulf Coast and into the Florida
Panhandle. Moderate moisture return ahead of this front will allow
for a slight chance of showers over Levy County Wednesday night.
Rain chances will increase and spread south into the Tampa Bay area
during the day on Thursday as the front works southeast into the
forecast area. Temperatures will cool off behind the front, with
near normal lows Thursday night, then highs only topping out on
Friday in the 60s over the Nature Coast and West-Central Florida,
and around 70 over Southwest Florida. Continued cold air advection
behind the front will allow lows Saturday morning to bottom out from
the upper 30s over Levy County to around 50 along the Southwest
Florida coast, then highs on Saturday generally in the low to mid
60s.

&&

.AVIATION...
Southerly winds early this morning with MVFR CIGS around
the Tampa Bay area now to increase in coverage. SW flow
becomes gusty all sites after 12Z with mainly VFR-MVFR CIGS
well ahead of approaching squall line. Expect VCTS/TSRA
starting around about 16z around the Tampa Bay sites to
18-20Z in the south...and continuing through 00Z. Winds to
become even stronger monday from the W.

&&

.MARINE...

...Mariners should remain in port until conditions improve...

Strong storm system to move through the region today with
strong SW winds to Gale force and a dangerous squall line
over the E Gulf today. Tightening pressure gradient further
Monday with Gale force winds continuing to create rough seas
10-15ft today through Monday. Residual strong winds and
elevated seas continue into Tuesday. These are dangerous and
life threatening marine conditions for the Gulf of Mexico.
Winds and seas finally weaken mid week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Strong winds for high dispersions today and Monday, but
squall line and rainfall to prevent significant fire wx
concerns.
