NWS Tampa Bay, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 1:00 PM EST, 5 hours 5 minutes earlier.
WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL 200 PM EDT MON JUN 30 2003 OF COURSE THE BIG STORY IN THE SHORT TERM IN BILL. THE ONLY EFFECT AT LEAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A SMALL SWELL COMING THIS WAY. IN FACT WEB CAMS SHOW ABOUT A 2 FOOT SWELL AT BRADENTON BEACH THIS AFTERNOON. THE STORM IS MOVING TOO FAST TO GENERATE A LARGE SWELL FOR US, EVEN THOUGH RECENT RECONS HAVE SHOWN FAIRLY STRONG WINDS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STORM. ACTUALLY THE STORMS MAIN EFFECT APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE SUBSIDENCE FOR THE AREA, WHICH MAY BE KEEPING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IN CHECK. IN SPITE OF THAT I STILL THINK WE WILL SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. FOR TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY THE STORM TAKES AN EASTWARD TURN AND SLOWS ITS FORWARD SPEED. THE GFS ELONGATES A SHORT WAVE AND BRINGS IT AND SOME STRONG SURFACE WINDS EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. THIS SEEMS UNLIKELY AND I WILL OPT FOR MORE OF AN ETA TYPE SOLUTION. THE FORECAST BASICALLY IS A TYPICAL SUMMER LIKE PATTERN WITH THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE MEANDERING OVER THE STATE. THIS OF COURSE WILL DETERMINE THE CONVECTION PATTERN. EXTENDED (THU-MON)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED EAST OF FLORIDA WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA WITH THE RIDGE AXIS EAST-WEST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FLORIDA PENINSULA THURSDAY...LIFTING NORTH OVER THE CENTRAL PENINSULA BY SATURDAY. 50H HIGH WILL ALSO BRIDGE ACROSS THE REGION INCREASING SUBSIDENCE OVER THE AREA. ALTHOUGH SCATTERED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR EACH DAY...AREAL COVERAGE WILL BE LESS THAN WHAT IS NORMALLY EXPECTED THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW DAYTIME TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THIS PATTERN WILL HOLD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MARINE...WINDS WILL COME DOWN SOME OVERNIGHT BUT AT LEAST EARLY IN THE NIGHT WE SHOULD SEE SCEC CONDITION. I WILL KEEP IT IN THE FORECAST. FIRE WEATHER...NO HIGHLIGHTS. PRELIM NUMBERS...
