Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
255 PM EDT Mon Jul 10 2017

.SHORT TERM (Tonight - Tuesday)...
Scattered showers and storms will continue to develop across
the forecast area the remainder of the afternoon with the
greatest storm coverage expected over inland locations along
the sea breeze merger. Steep lapse rates and cool dry air
aloft may support a few strong storms with strong gusty
winds and small hail along with frequent lightning and
locally heavy downpours. Outflow boundaries from the storms
could shift back to the west during the late afternoon and
early evening hours which may help to ignite some additional
storms toward the Gulf coast through the first half of
tonight before ending or shifting west into the Gulf waters.
Mainly dry conditions are expected overnight with the
debris cloudiness thinning out with skies becoming partly
cloudy toward morning. It will be a warm and muggy night
with overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s.

On Tuesday Upper level and surface ridging over the Atlantic
will lift north to lie across the northern peninsula
during the day. With the surface ridge axis moving to the
north a deep layered east southeast wind flow can be
expected across the forecast area. Ample moisture (PW's in
the 1.8 to 2 inch range) within this flow combined with
daytime heating will support scattered to numerous sea
breeze driven showers and thunderstorms over the region
during the afternoon and evening hours. Similar to previous
days the main hazards from the storms will be locally heavy
rains, strong gusty winds, frequent deadly lightning
strikes, and some small hail. Temperatures on Tuesday will
run a few degrees above normal with highs climbing into the
lower 90s along the coast, and lower to mid 90s inland.

.LONG TERM (Tuesday Night - Monday)...
Mid-upper level ridging continues to extend across the
Florida peninsula from near Bermuda. This pattern will
hold steady until Sunday next weekend when the ridge shifts
south as troughing digs into the east coast. On the surface,
subtropical high pressure near Bermuda extends west
southwest over northern Florida. This will keep a
predominant northeast through southeast wind flow over the
region through the week. With that flow, the highest chances
of showers and storms will be along the west coast of
Florida each afternoon through Thursday. A tropical wave
approaching the region on Thursday and will bring higher
rain chances (50-70% pops) over southern Florida on Thursday
and Friday. High pressure sets back up over central Florida
by Saturday and will be the dominant weather feature into
next week.

&&

.AVIATION...
Scattered shra/tsra may bring brief MVFR/IFR cigs and vsby
along with some gusty winds to the terminal sites through
02Z tonight. Outside of the convection VFR will prevail.
Southeast winds in the 6 to 8 knot range will shift to the
southwest and west as the sea breeze moves inland. Winds
will back to the east-southeast during the evening, then
become light and variable overnight into early Tuesday
morning. Scattered shra/tsra will redevelop over the area
after 16Z on Tuesday and some brief MVFR/IFR restrictions
will again be possible.

&&

.MARINE...
Surface high pressure across the central Florida peninsula
this afternoon will lift north to lie across the northern
peninsula and southeastern states on Tuesday where it will
remain through Friday. An inverted trough (remnants of TD#4)
will move across the southern peninsula and into the Gulf
during Thursday and Friday. As the trough moves across winds
will back to the northeast with a slight uptick in speeds
as the gradient tightens a bit Thursday into early Friday,
otherwise a light east to southeast winds with slight seas
and an onshore sea breeze component developing along the
coast each afternoon will be the rule. During the upcoming
weekend the surface ridge axis will sink back to the south
as the eastern U.S. upper level trough amplifies some and an
attendant cold front moves into the deep south. As the
ridge sinks south a light southeast to southerly wind flow
can be expected with an enhanced onshore sea breeze
component developing along the coast each afternoon. Wind
and seas will be higher in the vicinity of scattered
thunderstorms each day, otherwise no other marine hazards or
headlines are expected.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Ample low level moisture and daily rain chances will keep
humidity values well above critical levels through the end
of the week with no fire weather issues expected.
