WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL
211 AM EST SAT FEB 4 2006
UPDATED TO BEGIN LAKE WIND ADVISORY EARLIER
...STORMY WEATHER ALMOST OVER BUT THEN COMES THE CHILL...
.SHORT TERM (TODAY-MON)...BUT WE STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOME BAD
WX THIS MORNING AND POSSIBLY INTO THE AFTN OVER OUR CENTRAL
INTERIOR AND SRN ZONES. THIS AFTER A DAY WHERE KTPA EXPERIENCED
THE 4TH HIGHEST DAILY RAINFALL TOTAL AND THE HIGHEST DAILY VALUE
EVER RECORDED FOR THE MONTHS OF OCTOBER THROUGH APRIL.
FA IS IN THE LFQ OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET OVER THE CENTRAL GULF AND
THE RRQ OF ANOTHER JET OVER MOST OF THE ERN U.S. THE COMBINATION
IS ALLOWING FOR EXCELLENT OMEGA FIELDS THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF ABUNDANT SFC MOISTURE PROVIDED FROM LAST COUPLE OF DAYS OF SRLY
FLOW. SPC HAS AREA IN SLIGHT RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL...AND CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO AS CURRENT VWP HAS
GOOD DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AS WELL AS SPEED SHEAR.
GFS HAS THE JETS MERGING THIS AFTN WITH A 160 KT SPEED MAX AT 250
MB OVER N FL AT 18Z. BY THIS TIME THE SFC COLD FRONT WILL BE AT
THE SE EDGE OF OUR CWA...AND OUR AREA WILL START DRYING OUT AND
COOLING DOWN. UPPER TROUGH AXIS SWINGS ACROSS THE REGION BY 06Z
SUN...AND KEEPS AREA BREEZY THRU THE NIGHT. THUS EXPECTING A
BLUSTERY SUN MORNING...BUT WIND CHILL VALUES LOOK LIKE THEY WILL
BE ABOVE HIGHLIGHT CRITERIA.
CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE SRN FL PENINSULA SUN
NIGHT. GIVEN THE LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES...EXPECT THIS TO BE
THE COLDER OF THE TWO NIGHTS ACROSS THE REGION. LOWS SHOULD
BRIEFLY TOUCH FREEZING IN NATURE COAST COUNTIES...TOO SHORT TO
REQUIRE A FREEZE WATCH. CONTINUED PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN WILL
MEAN NEXT SYSTEM WILL BE HERE QUICKLY...WITH ANOTHER LOW
DEVELOPING OVER THE DEEP SOUTH MON MORNING AND MOVING INTO THE SE
U.S. BY EVENING. BELIEVE MOISTURE RETURN TOO QUICK TO SEE MUCH
RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM AND HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE ONLY TO LEVY
COUNTY ON MON AFTN. TEMPS ON MON AFTN EXPECTED TO BE CLOSER TO
NORMAL...BUT STILL A FEW DEGREES BELOW.
.LONG TERM (MON NIGHT-FRI)...PATTERN REMAINS PROGRESSIVE BUT
DEAMPLIFIES SOME THROUGH THE PERIOD. WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH PASSING
BY TO THE NORTH WILL HELP TO PUSH ANOTHER COLD FRONT INTO THE NORTHERN
FORECAST AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT...THEN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
REGION EARLY ON TUESDAY. MODEL CROSS SECTIONS SHOW A BIT MORE MOISTURE
RETURN ALBEIT SHALLOW...SO WILL DEPICT 20% POPS IN THE GRIDS ACROSS
NORTHERN MOST ZONES FOR LATE MONDAY NIGHT...AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER
OF THE AREA EARLY ON TUESDAY. ON WEDNESDAY A DRIER AIR MASS IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT AMPLE SUNSHINE AND SEASONABLY COOL
CONDITIONS. ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE OFF THE
SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. LITTLE
AFFECTS ARE EXPECTED FROM THIS FEATURE...BUT ITS DRY ATTENDANT COLD
FRONT WILL HELP TO REINFORCE THE COOL DRY AIR MASS OVER THE REGION.
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT COMBINED WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE WESTERN GULF EXTENDING EAST ACROSS THE PENINSULA
WILL ENSURE A CONTINUATION OF DRY PLEASANT WEATHER WITH MOSTLY CLEAR
NIGHTS AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY DAYS EXPECTED. TEMPERATURES WILL
REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY BELOW SEASONAL LEVELS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
&&
.MARINE...ACTIVE LINES OF CONVECTION OVER OUR EXTREME NRN WATERS
AND WEST OF ENGLEWOOD ATTM. IN THESE LOCATIONS WINDS ARE BRIEFLY
STRONGER THAN IN CURRENT FORECAST...AND WILL CONTINUE HANDLING
WITH MARINE WX STATEMENTS/SPECIAL MARINE WARNINGS. EXPECT LARGER
SCALE WINDS TO PICK UP AROUND DAYBREAK TO AROUND 20 KTS OVER OUR
CENTRAL AND NRN WATERS...AND THUS HAVE RAISED AN SCA FOR THESE
AREAS. AS THE COLD FRONT PRODUCING THESE WINDS MOVES SE OVER THE
WATERS EXPECTING THE WINDS TO PICK UP OVER TAMPA BAY AND OUR SRN
WATERS BY AROUND NOON. STRONGEST WINDS THIS AFTN EXPECTED TO BE
AROUND 25 KTS...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT SOME GUSTS TO GALE FORCE.
WINDS OVER THE LAND AREAS WILL BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER...BUT STILL
STRONG ENUF TO RAISE A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTN.
MARINERS SHUD STRONGLY CONSIDER POSTPONING TRAVEL UNTIL CONDITIONS
IMPROVE ON SUN.
&&
.AVIATION...WIDESPREAD AREAS OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
SUPPORT MVFR CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS AT ALL TERMINAL
SITES THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. MVFR CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO
VFR BY LATE AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS IN THE 10 TO 20 KNOT RANGE WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS WILL SHIFT
INTO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AND INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 KNOTS WITH A
FEW HIGHER GUSTS LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS A COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR CAN ALSO BE
EXPECTED THROUGH MID MORNING AT MOST TERMINAL SITES.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS TODAY GIVEN ONGOING PRECIP. COLD FRONT
WILL CLEAR REGION BY THIS AFTN...BUT COLD AIR ADVECTION OVER MOIST
SOIL WILL PREVENT RH VALUES FROM GETTING TO HIGHLIGHT CRITERIA.
SUN AFTN IS A DIFFERENT STORY. EXPECTING DEWPOINTS TO BOTTOM OUT
IN THE UPPER 20S AWAY FROM THE COAST UP IN THE NRN COUNTIES AND IN
THE LOW 30S CENTRAL INTERIOR. WILL GO WITH A FIRE WX WATCH FOR ALL
OF THE NATURE COAST COUNTIES AND DOWN THE SPINE OF THE STATE SOUTH
TO HARDEE AND HIGHLANDS.
PROGRESSIVE FLOW PATTERN WILL MEAN A QUICK RETURN OF MOISTURE ON
MON AFTN. COULD PERHAPS SEE A FEW SPOTS HIT CRITICAL RH
VALUES...BUT TOO EARLY ATTM TO HIGHLIGHT.
