WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL 159 PM EDT MON JUN 19 2006 .SHORT TERM(TONIGHT - WEDNESDAY)...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN U.S. AND GULF OF THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS WILL WEAKEN TONIGHT AS THE TAIL END OF AN UPPER TROUGH (SHEAR AXIS) SLIDES INTO THE NORTH-CENTRAL PENINSULA ON TUESDAY THEN WASHES OUT ON WEDNESDAY AS A REINFORCING UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN OVER THE DEEP SOUTH AND NORTHERN GULF. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AXIS JUST NORTH OF THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL SINK SOUTH TONIGHT AND BECOME ALIGNED EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PENINSULA DURING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH DAYTIME HEATING...SEA BREEZE CONVERGENCE...AND THE ADDED LIFT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPS (50H TEMPS -8C) ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY. WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL MAINTAIN HIGHEST POPS (50%) OVER THE NATURE COAST ON TUESDAY CLOSEST TO THIS FEATURE AS WELL AS DOWN THE SPINE OF THE PENINSULA (INTERIOR ZONES) WHERE THE BEST SEA BREEZE COLLISIONS SHOULD TAKE PLACE...WITH NEAR CLIMO-POPS (40%) OVER WEST CENTRAL COASTAL AND SOUTHERN MOST ZONES. DURING WEDNESDAY THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE N-CENTRAL PENINSULA SHOULD PROVIDE AN EASTERLY STEERING FLOW (ALBEIT QUITE WEAK) ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. AMPLE MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND WEAK TROUGHING ALOFT WILL AGAIN LEAD TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS FIRING OFF ALONG THE SEA BREEZE CIRCULATIONS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER POP CHANCES ALONG WEST COASTAL ZONES FROM THE BAY AREA SOUTH WHERE THE BEST EAST/WEST COAST SEA BREEZE MERGERS SHOULD TAKE PLACE. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS A VERY WEAK STEERING FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN SLOW MOVING STORMS THROUGH THE WEEK RESULTING IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS (2-3) OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN SOME LOCATIONS. BASED ON MOISTURE/INSTABILITY PROFILES THE MAV POPS LOOK TO LOW THE NEXT FEW DAYS...SO WILL FOLLOW THE MET WHICH HAS BEEN HANDLING THE SEA BREEZE DRIVEN CONVECTION BETTER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL NORMS WITH DAYTIME HIGHS 90 TO THE LOWER 90S...WITH NIGHTTIME LOWS FALLING INTO THE UPPER 60S OVER THE NATURE COAST...TO THE LOWER 70S CENTRAL AND SOUTH. MAV/MET TEMPS CLOSE AND WILL USE A BLEND. && .LONG TERM(WED NIGHT - MONDAY)...ADJUSTED POPS DOWNWARD FOR THE NATURE COAST AREA AS WELL AS FT. MYERS ON THU AND FRI AS MODEL PWS HAVE COME DOWN. MAIN REASON FOR CHANGE IS A NORTH TO NWRLY WIND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AN UPPER LOW OVER THE BAHAMAS. MODELS DIFFER ON WHEN THIS LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS FL...WITH 06Z GFS INDICATING SAT...WHEREAS THE 12Z GFS KEEPS THE LOW EAST OF THE STATE...AND THE DGEX HAS IT CROSSING LATE SUN. IF THE LOW SHIFTS TO OUR WEST...FLOW ALOFT WILL SWITCH AROUND TO THE SOUTH AND WILL OPEN THE TAP FOR SOME TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE REGION. PWS LOOK LIKE THEYLL COME UP TO AROUND 2 INCHES. GIVEN UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING...POTENTIAL THAT LOW STAYS EAST OF US...AND THE FACT THAT THIS FEATURE IS RELATIVELY NEW IN THE MODEL RUNS...WILL KEEP MAX POPS AT 40 PCT. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE UPPER LOW IN FUTURE RUNS TO SEE WHICH SCENARIO WILL PLAY OUT. && .MARINE...LIGHT EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WITH SLIGHT SEAS AND AN ONSHORE SEA BREEZE COMPONENT DEVELOPING NEAR SHORE EACH AFTERNOON WILL BE THE RULE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. MAY SEE HIGHER WIND/SEAS IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS...BUT NO HEADLINES ARE ANTICIPATED. && .AVIATION...SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES BEST CU FIELD ALONG SEA BREEZE GENERALLY NORTH OF KSRQ. ALREADY HAVE TSTM DEVELOPMENT IN THESE AREAS AND HAVE PUT IN TEMPO GROUPS FOR SRQ NORTH. DRY AIR OVER THE SOUTH OF THE STATE MAY PREVENT TSTMS OVER RSW AND FMY ALTOGETHER...BUT TOO EARLY TO GET RID OF IN FORECASTS. HAVE LEFT IN VCTS. NO OTHER CHANGES PLANNED IN FORECAST. && .FIRE WEATHER...AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL PRECLUDE RED FLAG CONDITIONS THROUGH THE WEEK WITH NO FIRE WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
