Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
415 AM EST Sat Jan 21 2017

...Enhanced Risk of Severe Thunderstorms Sunday...
...Hazardous Marine Conditions Late Today through Tuesday...

.Short Term (Today - Sunday)...
Calm before the storm today with last of the warm and humid
conditions on southerly low-mid level flow. Shortwave
moving over N C Gulf coast to produce scattered showers in
Big Bend region today.

Tonight...
Upper low continues to deepen and move through the S Plains
region with ejecting vort maxes rotating over the Deep South
increasing instability. Developing surface low moves into
the S Mississippi River Valley with increasing thunderstorm
chances over the Northern Nature Coast in the predawn hours.

Sunday...
From SPC Day 2 convective outlook:
The strong upper low matures and swings through the Northern
Gulf States and Deep South with significant upper dynamics
of 110kt+ southern jet speed max along the Gulf coast into
northern FL as potent surface storm system lifts through the
Deep South. Strong low level jet over the area to transport
moisture/instability well ahead of the strong upper system.

Very strong forcing to produce a well-organized squall line
that should race through the E Gulf and FL Peninsula during
the day. Very strong environmental shear is expected to
contribute to damaging winds potential...especially with
fast-moving bow-type structures. While a squall line appears
to be the primary severe mode, there is some concern for
tornadoes, especially if discrete structures develop ahead
of the linear MCS. Therefore the northern 2/3 of our CWA is
in an enhanced risk of severe probability with the southern
1/3 in a slight risk for later in the day into Sunday Night.
This situation may become particularly dangerous and
residents are encouraged to monitor the situation closely.

.Long Term (Sunday Night - Friday)...
By the end of the weekend, a deep upper level trough will be digging
into the southeastern CONUS, and will rotate through Florida Sunday
night and Monday morning. At the surface, a strong cold front ahead
of the upper level trough will still be working south through the
Florida Peninsula Sunday night. Along and ahead of this front,
showers and thunderstorms will continue across the area Sunday
night, with some strong storms possible, although convection will
gradually wind down and shift south and out of the area by Monday
morning. Rain free conditions are then expected to take hold Monday
afternoon through the middle of the week as cooler and drier air
fills in behind the front. Temperatures Monday and Tuesday will only
drop down to near normal, with highs in the upper 60s and low to mid
70s, and morning lows ranging from the mid 40s to the upper 50s.
Temperatures will warm back up on Wednesday to a few degrees above
normal.

During the second half of the week, another trough will rotate into
the eastern US, and although the trough will not dig as far south as
the preceding trough, it will feature a strong upper level jet. The
00z GFS has now come more in line with the timing of the ECMWF, with
decent agreement that the front will move into the Nature Coast
Thursday afternoon, and will sink into south Florida by Friday
morning. Rain chances will start to increase over the Nature Coast
late Wednesday, and will drift south with the front through Friday.
Temperatures will start to cool off again Thursday evening, with
morning lows ranging from the mid 40s to around 60. As strong cold
air advection continues behind the front of Friday, afternoon highs
will only top out in the low 60s over the Nature Coast, mid 60s
across the Tampa Bay area, and around 70 over Southwest Florida.
VFR the remainder of this evening then fog begins to
form AFT midnight. Expect MVFR BTWN 07-14Z for BR and/or low CIGS.
Fog prone LAL and PGD may see brief IFR. Clouds increase from north
to south during the day but stay VFR. Modest southerly winds
overnight become S-SW and gusty AFT 16Z.
&&

.AVIATION...
Areas of ground fog have developed in typical fog prone
locations with MVFR to LCL IFR/LIFR vsby and cigs through
about 13Z. VFR conditions return all TAF sites with
increasing cloud cover and southerly winds. Strong storm
system to move thru N FL later tonight, then FL Peninsula
Sunday.

&&

.MARINE...
Southerly winds pick up through the day and will hoist SCEC
for offshore waters ahead of a developing storm system.
Tonight SW winds and seas to increase to hazardous SCA
levels ahead of the system. Expect dangerous squall line to
move through the E Gulf waters Sunday ahead of cold front.
The gradient will tighten in the wake of the front as an
area of low pressure deepens near the mid Atlantic coast
Sunday night through Monday with frequent gusts to gale
force possible all waters. Mariners should remain in port
until conditions improve. By Tuesday winds begin to subside
but residual long period swells will continue in the E Gulf.
High pressure finally weakens over the region with lighter
winds and seas mid week.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
No fire weather hazards are expected through the weekend as
relative humidity values will remain above 35 percent each
day.

.Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
TPA  79  68  77  63 /  10  20  90  70
FMY  82  67  82  66 /  10  10  70  80
