Area forecast discussion, Jul 20, 2:43 PM EDT, 3 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 243 PM EDT Sat Jul 20 2019 .SHORT TERM (Today - Sunday)... Mid-upper level ridging and associated broad surface high pressure continues to extend westward over northern Florida and along the northern gulf coast through Sunday. This will keep us in Florida Sea Breeze Regime 6 with a predominant southeast wind flow between 4-10 knots. Similar to the past couple of days, we can expect the west coast sea breeze to push inland each day between 10-30 miles during the early to mid afternoon hours. The latest HRRR guidance has the initial showers and storms moving in from the east-southeast early afternoon, followed by west coast sea breeze showers and storms firing up by mid afternoon. The boundary collisions could produce some strong storms with gusty winds, heavy downpours, frequent lightning as well as a chance for hail. The highest coverage of storms early afternoon will be over the interior with storms moving back toward the west coast late afternoon into the evening. Similar conditions can be expected on Sunday. Daytime high temps will reach the low to mid 90's with heat indices between 100-103 degrees and overnight lows in the mid to upper 70's. && .LONG TERM (Sunday night - Next Saturday)... The synoptic pattern will remain unchanged through Tuesday. The upper ridge and surface high continues to extend over northern Florida keeping us in a southeast flow pattern through late Monday into Tuesday. At that time, the ridge shifts south as a positively tilted trough over the Great Lakes begins to swing east-southeast over the eastern U.S. On the surface, an area of low pressure over New England stretches a frontal boundary southwest along the east coast then westward to Texas. This boundary will stall out and linger over southern GA/northern FL through the end of next week. Interaction between the boundary over northern FL and the ridge to the south will bring a shift in winds putting us in Florida Sea Breeze Regime 4 with winds out of the southwest at 4-10 knots. Under this pattern, scattered showers and storms will develop over the coastal waters/coastline early morning and move inland during the afternoon/evening hours. The highest coverage will be over the far inland counties mid afternoon with improving conditions along the coastline later in the day. This pattern will continue through the end of next week. Temperatures will run around average through the extended period. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions will prevail for most of the day with southeast winds less than 10 knots, turning onshore within the next couple of hours with an afternoon seabreeze at all terminals except KLAL, which will remain mostly easterly less than 10 knots. Radar is already showing TSRA/SHRA moving west through the interior, so will hold VCTS at all terminals through 02Z. Have also put TEMPO groups at all terminals for brief periods of MVFR/IFR for low CIGs and VSBY as will as gusty winds up to 35 knots possible in passing storms. Winds will become light and variable less than 5 knots once again after 03Z tonight. No other aviation impacts expected. && .MARINE... High pressure continues to ridge over the area producing pleasant boating conditions over the coastal waters. Winds remain southeast 10 knots or less with a shift to onshore close to the coast each afternoon through the weekend and seas will remain less than 2 feet. The high pressure ridge will shift farther south by Tuesday next week as a trough moves toward the eastern U.S. This will cause a shift in the winds to the west-southwest at 10 knots or less. The only hazards will be daily scattered thunderstorms, which will produce gusty winds, choppy seas and dangerous lightning in the vicinity of these storms. && .FIRE WEATHER... Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms can be expected each day across west central and southwest Florida. These daily showers and storms combined with high humidity levels and winds less than 10 knots will preclude any fire weather impacts over the next several days. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
