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 Jun 25, 2:35 PM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 2:35 PM EDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
235 PM EDT Mon Jun 25 2018

.SHORT TERM (Tonight - Tuesday)...
Upper level ridging will remain over the southeastern U.S.
and Florida through the period. At the surface the
subtropical ridge axis now across the central Florida
peninsula this afternoon will lift north to lie across the
northern peninsula later tonight through early Tuesday. The
ridge position will support a light southeast to southerly
wind flow over the forecast area through the period with a
very weak pressure pattern supporting an onshore sea breeze
developing along the coast during the afternoon hours. Ample
moisture (PW's in the 1.7 to 2+ inch range) combined with
daytime heating will support shower and thunderstorm
development along the sea breeze the remainder of the
afternoon with a southeast steering flow favoring highest
pops and best storm coverage along and to the west of the
I-75 corridor during the late afternoon and early evening
hours where the east and west coast sea breeze collision is
expected. Similar to yesterday locally heavy rains with
minor flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas will be
possible as well as the ponding of water on roadways. In
addition, frequent lightning strikes, strong gusty winds,
and some small hail will accompany the storms.

Tonight the convection will gradually wind down or shift
west into the Gulf waters by mid evening with convective
debris cloudiness thinning out with skies becoming partly
cloudy overnight. It will be a warm and muggy night with low
temperatures in the mid 70s inland areas, and upper 70s to
around 80 along the coast.

On Tuesday little overall change is expected. With the
surface ridge axis to our north a light southeast to
southerly wind flow with an onshore sea breeze component is
again expected. Ample moisture and daytime heating will
again support scattered to numerous showers and storms
developing along the sea breeze and outflow boundaries
during the afternoon with the best storm coverage and
highest pops focusing along and to the east of the I-75
corridor during the late afternoon and early evening hours
as the sea breeze boundary pushes a bit further inland
compared to today in response to a weaker southeast flow.
Typical summertime heat and humidity will continue on
Tuesday with highs climbing to around 90 along the coast,
and lower 90s inland with heat indices in the 100 to 105
degree range expected during the afternoon.

.LONG TERM (Tuesday night - Monday)...
In the upper levels, a fairly amplified pattern continues
over the northern U.S. with a closed low moving through
the Great Lakes region and ridging extending over the
northeast U.S. Closer to Florida, the upper high sits over
eastern Texas with ridging extending eastward along the
northern gulf coast, over Florida, north of the Bahamas and
back into the central gulf. The ridge axis will sit right
over the nature coast. This will keep a light upper
northeast through southeast wind flow over the region
through Thursday. At that time, the upper low that was over
the Great Lakes moves east and fills to a trough over New
England. This trough will extend southwest into GA and
slightly nudge the ridge southward over central Florida. The
trough pushes east on Friday as a strong upper high sets up
over the southeast and persists through Saturday. Models
are indicating a weak tropical wave moving from east to west
over Florida on Sunday, while the upper ridge holds strong
over the mid-Atlantic region and New England through Monday.

Moving down to the surface, strong high pressure sits off
the New England coastline. An area of low pressure off the
Carolina coastline extends a frontal boundary west-
northwestward to another area of low pressure south of the
Great Lakes. Any significant weather impacts associated with
this front will stay well to the north, while the dominant
weather feature over Florida will be high pressure east of
the Bahamas extending westward into the Gulf of Mexico.
While most of the effects of the front and associated
troughing will remain well to our north, they will cause a
slight shift in the ridge southward over southern Florida
with another area of high pressure developing in the Gulf of
Mexico by Thursday afternoon. A weak surface trough moves
across southern Florida on Sunday into early Monday which
will keep abundant moisture over the region, helping to keep
moderate to high rain chances (40-70 percent) each
afternoon through the weekend and into next week. PWAT
values will remain high ranging from 1.75 - 2.10 inches
through the long term period. Temperatures continue to be
seasonal for the end of June.

.AVIATION...
Developing SHRA/TSRA will bring brief MVFR/IFR cigs and
vsbys to the terminals sites between 19-00Z and have
included Tempo groups to cover this, otherwise VFR is
expected during the next 24 hours. Southeast winds around 5
knots this afternoon will become southwest to west at 6 to 8
knots after 19Z at the coastal Taf sites as the sea breeze
develops with gusts up to 30 knots possible in the vicinity
of TSRA. Winds will become light and variable after 02Z
tonight, becoming southeast to south at 4 to 6 knots after
14Z on Tuesday.

&&

.MARINE...
Surface high pressure across the central peninsula this
afternoon will drift north to lie across the northern
peninsula on Tuesday with light southeast to south winds and
slight seas expected to continue over the Gulf waters with
an onshore sea breeze component developing along the coast
Tuesday afternoon. During Wednesday through Saturday the
high will meander back south to lie across the south-central
peninsula as a weakening frontal trough moves into the
southeastern states. As the high drift back to the south a
light southeast to southerly wind flow will continue across
the far southern waters while a southwest to west flow will
develop across the remainder of the waters with an enhanced
onshore sea breeze component continuing to develop each
afternoon. Wind and seas will be higher near scattered late
afternoon and evening storms through Tuesday, and near
scattered late night and early morning storms Wednesday
through Saturday as the high sinks back south and the
onshore flow develops, otherwise no headlines are expected
through the period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Typical summertime heat and humidity will continue across
the region through the remainder of the week with
scattered to numerous sea breeze driven showers and storms
expected each afternoon. Ample low level moisture and
elevated rain chances will keep humidity values well above
critical levels with no fire weather issues expected.
