WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL 202 PM EDT TUE JUN 26 2001 CURRENTLY...VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS EAST COAST SEA BREEZE WELL UNDERWAY AND ADVANCING WEST. THE WEST COAST BOUNDARY HAS NOT DEVELOPED YET...BUT SHOULD BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO AS GOOD SURFACE CONTINUES. BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING EAST AND WEST COAST BOUNDARY COLLISIONS OVER MY WEST COASTAL ZONES WILL RESULT IN FAIRLY HIGH AREAL COVERAGE OF STORMS...SO WILL WORD FOR 50% EVENING POPS FROM FROM PASCO SOUTH...AND 30% FURTHER NORTH WHERE SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR STILL RESIDES. AS STATED EARLIER THIS MORNING RATHER COLD 50H TEMPS ALOFT (-11C) MAY LEAD TO SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND SMALL HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT. TONIGHT...BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS SHOULD KEEP CONVECTION GOING INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AND MAY LINGER PAST SUNSET...BEFORE IT FINALLY BEGINS TO WIND DOWN WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. INCREASING DEW POINTS SHOULD LEAD TO HIGHER OVERNIGHT MINS. GUIDANCE NUMBER ARE CLOSE SO WILL NOT DEVIATE MUCH FROM IT. SHORT TERM...WELL FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT DAY MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH ONE ANOTHER WITH RESPECT TO OVERALL SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES. CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER TN WILL CONTINUE TO MEANDER WEST-NORTHWEST THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE ATLANTIC UPPER HIGH ASSERTS ITSELF WEST OVER THE EASTERN SEA BOARD AND FL...WITH EAST TO WEST SURFACE RIDGE AXIS TAKING UP RESIDENCE ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST CYCLE. DEEPENING EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW AROUND THE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT INCREASING MOISTURE LEVELS (PWS APPROACHING 2 BY THURSDAY) INTO THE FA. THIS MOISTURE ALONG WITH THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS WILL RESULT IN HIGH POP REGIME FOR MUCH OF WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FL THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. WITH THIS IN MIND PLAN TO WORD FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS EACH DAY. FAN/MAV/FWC MAX/MIN TEMPERATURES ARE VERY CLOSE SO AGAIN A BLEND WILL BE USED IN MOST LOCATIONS. EXTENDED (FRI-TUES)...LATEST AVN/MRF CONTINUES WITH MOIST E-SELY FLOW ACROSS THE FA WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS THROUGH SATURDAY. AFTER THAT MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE DRIER AIR WORKING IT WAY INTO THE FA FROM THE ATLANTIC AHEAD OF A WESTWARD MOVING TUTT...WHICH MAY LEAD TO SOMEWHAT LOWER POP CHANCES. SEEING THAT THIS IS STILL WAY OUT... PLAN TO KEEP CURRENT SCATTERED POP WORDING AS IS FOR THE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY TIME FRAME. LITTLE TEMPERATURE CHANGES EXPECTED. MARINE...DEEP EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE ENTIRE MARINE AREA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS DEEP LAYERED RIDGING SETS UP ALONG THE MID ATLANTIC. WIND AND SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA WITH NO HIGHLIGHTS EXPECTED...HOWEVER WIND AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER NEAR NUMEROUS AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. INCREASE IN EASTERLY GRADIENT WILL LIKELY KEEP THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE PINNED TO THE COAST FROM WEDNESDAY ON WHERE BEST CONCENTRATION OF CONVECTION WILL RESIDE. FIRE WEATHER...INCREASING MOIST EAST-SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL KEEP RH VALUES ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHICH WILL PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR ANY WATCHES OR RED FLAGS THROUGH THURSDAY.
