WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL 145 PM EDT THU JUN 30 2005 ...CONTINUED MUGGY WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGH SATURDAY... .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT - SAT)...AFTER GETTING A BETTER LOOK AT MOST RECENT MODEL RUNS...HAVE DECIDED AGAINST AN AREAL FLOOD WATCH FOR THE TIME BEING. THOUGH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS SET UP PORTIONS OF THE SUNCOAST FOR POTENTIAL FLOODING... MAINLY FROM MANATEE COUNTY NORTHWARD...SOME KEY INDICATORS IN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN CAST DOUBT ON HOW WIDESPREAD THE EFFECTS WILL BE. FIRST...MEAN LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW IS WEST RATHER THAN SOUTHWEST. MODELS INDICATE PERHAPS EVEN WEST-NORTHWEST FLOW ABOVE 700 MB AS UPPER TROUGH AXIS SETTLES CLOSER TO 80 DEGREES WEST (RATHER THAN THE MORE FAVORABLE 85-90 DEGREES WEST) LONGITUDE. SECOND...UPPER JET DYNAMICS ARE QUITE WEAK...A RESULT OF LIGHT WINDS ABOVE 500 MB. FINALLY...SURFACE-850 MB FLOW IS ACTUALLY TOO FAST TO ALLOW FOR INDIVIDUAL STORMS TO SETTLE. NOW...THIS ISNT TO SAY THAT A SINGLE TORRENTIAL-RAIN PRODUCING BAND WONT DEVELOP EACH OF THE NEXT TWO MORNINGS...MOST LIKELY IN THE AREA MENTIONED ABOVE. HOWEVER...ISSUING A WATCH FOR THE POTENTIAL OF A THIN BAND SEEMS A BIT OVERDONE...AND PREFER (FOR NOW) TO HIT WITH STATEMENTS AND HAZARDOUS WEATHER UPDATES...AS WELL AS ANY SHORT-FUSED ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS FOR SPECIFIC AREAS UNDER IMMINENT THREAT. SO...FOR THE SENSIBLE WEATHER...THE PATTERN SHIFT APPEARS TO BE COMPLETE AS WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW HAS TAKEN OVER AT ALL LEVELS. THE EXCEPTION IS THE SOUTHWEST CORNER (CHARLOTTE/LEE) WHERE FLOW IS A BIT LIGHTER...CLOSEST TO THE SFC RIDGE AXIS. THUS...EXPECT BEST CHANCES/COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION NEAR THE COAST FROM MANATEE TO LEVY COUNTY BETWEEN 4 AM AND NOON EACH DAY...AND FROM LATE MORNING TO MID AFTERNOON OVER INTERIOR COUNTIES THROUGH THE FORT MYERS AREA. LOWEST CHANCES WILL BE FARTHEST SOUTH WHERE COVERAGE SHOULD BE SCATTERED. OTHERWISE...HAVE BUMPED INTO THE NUMEROUS RANGE JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE ELSE. MAX TEMPS WILL BE HELD DOWN BY THE CLOUDS AND EARLY PRECIPITATION ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST...WHILE LOW TEMPS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL GIVEN ONSHORE FLOW. HIGH DWPTS (UPPER 70S NEAR THE COAST) WILL MAKE IT A BIT MORE UNCOMFORTABLE THAN NORMAL...BUT NOTHING WE DONT SEE HERE A FEW TIMES EACH SUMMER. .LONG TERM (SAT NIGHT-THU)...WILL THE RAIN EVER END? GFS SOUNDING INDICATES PWS AROUND 2 INCHES THRU THE PERIOD. ONLY DIFFERENCE EACH DAY WILL BE TIMING OF TSTMS...WHICH WILL DEPEND ON SYNOPTIC FLOW PATTERN. FOR SAT NIGHT...RIDGE AXIS WILL BE OVER S FL...MAINTAINING THE W/SWRLY FLOW FROM THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. THIS FLOW WILL MEAN BEST RAIN CHANCES IN THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTN ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES FROM SARASOTA NORTH...AND THEN SHIFTING INLAND AND INTO CHARLOTTE AND LEE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE LATER IN THE AFTN. THE RIDGE AXIS THEN SLIDES NORTH INTO THE CENTRAL FA ON MON...WHICH FAVORS SHOWERS ALONG A SLOWER MOVING SEA BREEZE. SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO INDICATE W/SWRLY FLOW ALOFT...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH OUTFLOW BNDIES FROM SEA BREEZE CONVECTION SHUD MAKE FOR FAIRLY UNIFORM COVERAGE ACROSS THE CWA...AS IN CURRENT FORECAST. ONLY CHANGE WILL BE TO UP POPS ACROSS THE LAND AREAS TO 50 PCT AND TO INCREASE MORNING AND EARLY AFTN POPS ON SUN ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD...MAY END UP WITH A WRLY FLOW AGAIN AS A SECONDARY HIGH COULD FORM ALONG THE RIDGE AXIS IN THE GOMEX. THIS WOULD ONCE AGAIN RAISE THE POPS IN THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTN ALONG THE COAST...SO WILL JUST GO WITH A BLANKET ALL DAY POP ON THU. MAX TEMPS EACH DAY WILL CONTINUE NEAR NORMAL...WHEREAS MIN TEMPS WILL BE AT OR A COUPLE OF DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. && .MARINE...WINDS/SEAS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW HIGHLIGHT CRITERIA THROUGH THE PERIOD...THOUGH 10-15 KT VALUES WILL BE COMMON LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY ESPECIALLY NORTH OF ENGLEWOOD. SEAS SHOULD COME UP A LITTLE ALSO...LIKELY 4 FEET IN LOCATIONS WHERE WINDS STAY UP. WINDS/SEAS WILL DROP BACK GRADUALLY OVER THE WEEKEND AS SFC RIDGE BEGINS SHIFTING NORTHWARD AGAIN. && .FIRE WEATHER...WARM...HUMID...WET FUELS AND MORE RAIN. NO HIGHLIGHTS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL 530 AM EDT THU JUN 30 2005 FLZ039-042-043-048>052-055>057-060>062-065-301430- CHARLOTTE-CITRUS-DE SOTO-HARDEE-HERNANDO-HIGHLANDS-HILLSBOROUGH-LEE- LEVY-MANATEE-PASCO-PINELLAS-POLK-SARASOTA-SUMTER- 530 AM EDT THU JUN 30 2005 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. .DAY ONE...TODAY: AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE COMBINED WITH THE DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION WILL LEAD TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN TODAY. MOST OF THESE STORMS WILL MOVE INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST FLORIDA BY EVENING. HOWEVER...SOME UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT CAUSING MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT. THE MAIN THREAT FROM THE STORMS WILL BE FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH MAY CAUSE MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE AND LOW LYING AREAS. MOTORISTS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR STANDING WATER ON ROADWAYS AND NOT ATTEMPT TO CROSS ANY FLOODED ROADWAYS WHERE THE DEPTH OF THE WATER IS UNKNOWN. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS FOR UPDATES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY: ON FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE AREA ALONG WITH THE DEEP MOISTURE TO BRING MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS WILL BE SOUTH OF THE REGION AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THE SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH THE BEST CHANCES OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER INLAND AREAS EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE RIDGE AXIS IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT BACK NORTH WITH AN EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW BECOMING ESTABLISHED WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE EACH DAY. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NEEDED. && FOR ADDITIONAL WEATHER INFORMATION...CHECK OUR WEB SITE AT HTTP://WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/TBW (LOWER CASE) PRC
