WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL 220 PM EDT MON JUL 30 2001 A COUPLE OF FEATURES OF SIGNIFICANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE UPCOMING FORECAST...THE FIRST BEING THE INCREASE IN MEAN LAYER MOISTURE FROM THE N WITH THE APPROACH OF A FRONTAL TROUGH INTO S GA...THE OTHER BEING THE HEALTHY TROPICAL WAVE TRAVERSING THE CARIBBEAN AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE SRN GULF OF MEXICO. IN THE SHORT TERM...SUNDAYS DRIER ATMOS ACROSS THE PNSULA HAS MOISTENED SOME TO ALLOW AT LEAST A 30 POP OF DIURNAL AFTN/EVE CONVECTION OVER THE PNSULA TODAY COMPARED TO LESS THAN 10 PERCENT ON SUNDAY. WOULD EXPECT CONDITIONS TO REVERT TO MOSTLY CLEAR MOST AREAS TONIGHT EXCEPT NRN FA WHERE TROUGH MOISTURE MAY EITHER SAG CONVECTION SWD FROM N FL OR PROVIDE INCREASED MOISTURE TO SUSTAIN A CHANCE FOR POP INTO THE COASTAL AND NRN FA INTO TONIGHT. ON TUESDAY...INCREASED FRONTAL TROUGH MOISTURE SAGGING SWD ALONG WITH SURFACE WINDS VEERING FROM NWLY TO NELY ON TUESDAY...WOULD ANTICIPATE A FURTHER INCREASE IN MID AFTN THROUGH EVENING DIURNAL POPS FROM 60 PCT N TO 40 PERCENT S...DIMINISHING AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. DIFFICULTLY ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE IF THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE ANY SEMBLANCE OF A TYPICAL DRIER SUBSIDENCE AREA IN ADVANCE OF THE TROPICAL WAVE POSSIBLY IMPACTING POPS ACROSS NRN/CENTRL PNSULA. BUT MODELS IMPLY THE WAVE TO PRESS ON WWD TO PASS 85 DEG W WED AFTN TO ALLOW INCREASED TROP MOISTURE TO SWING NWD INTO S PNSULA. SO FOR WED WILL PUSH POPS TO LIKELY FOR SW COAST WITH CONTINUED CHANCE ELSEWHERE. AT PRESENT THE WAVE IS NOT FORECAST TO INTENSIFY...BUT AS THE WAVE TREKS W EXPECT SOME TIGHTENING OF GRADIENT BEGINNING TUESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...WITH SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN WINDS. BUT DUE TO UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME WITH TROPICAL WAVES STRENGTH AND EVENTUAL PATH...WILL ONLY INCREASE WINDS TO ELY IN THE 15 TO 20 KTS RANGE. FORTUNATELY EAST WINDS WILL NIX ANY TIDAL PROBLEMS FOR THE GULF COAST. PRESENT FORECAST LOGIC IS FOR TROPICAL DISTURBANCE TO CONTINUE WWD INTO WRN GULF ON FRIDAY.
