What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Tampa Bay, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this beach hazards statement went out at Oct 29, 7:20 AM EDT, 5 hours 58 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 29, 7:20 AM EDT, 5 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
720 AM EDT Mon Oct 29 2018

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions are expected through the forecast period. Light and
variable winds this morning will become more north-northwest this
afternoon for most of the terminals, except for more northeasterly
over the southwest Florida sites.

&&

.Prev Discussion... /issued 428 AM EDT Mon Oct 29 2018/

DISCUSSION...
The high pressure that has given us our first taste of fall will
start to move easterly for the early part of our work week. This
will shift our winds to a more east to northeasterly
direction causing the temperature and humidity to slowly
increase through the week. Our next cold front will start to
head our way on Thursday switching our winds to the south
and continue to increase the humidity. The extra humidity
will help to spark a few showers in the afternoon but should
stay isolated in nature.

Models are in pretty good agreement that the front will be pushing
through the area on Friday and early Saturday morning from
north to south. This will bring with it the best chance of
showers over the next seven days. This front is expected to
stall either in south Florida or in the Keys for the
weekend. This will bring us some drier and cooler air into
next weekend but will not be as significant as what we saw
the last couple of days.

AVIATION...
VFR will prevail at all terminals during the next 24 hours.
Light and variable winds will become northerly during the
afternoon with some high cirrus clouds.

MARINE...

Winds and seas will start to diminish as we go through our
Monday as high pressure moves away. Winds will be out of a
northerly direction today before shifting to the east for
Tuesday and Wednesday. Winds will stay below 10 knots for
Monday and Tuesday before increasing to 10 to 15 knots on
Wednesday.

FIRE WEATHER...
The drier airmass will slowly be moving away. This will
slowly increase the humidity through the week. Monday
should be the driest day but humidity values should stay in
the 40 to 50% range.
