AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL 130 PM EDT SUN JUL 22 2007 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT - TUESDAY)...GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WHICH DEEPENS INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF AND NORTHERN FLORIDA TONIGHT AND ON MONDAY. GFS IS NOW SHOWING A MID LEVEL BROAD CLOSED LOW OVER THE ATLANTIC COAST STATES WHICH REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY REACHES AND LINGERS AROUND THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE TONIGHT WHILE HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS SOUTH OF FLORIDA FROM THE ATLANTIC. THIS RIDGE THEN SLOWLY MIGRATES NORTHWARD AND REACHING CENTRAL FLORIDA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...PUSHING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NORTH OF FLORIDA INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND AWAY FROM THE AREA. THE FRONT...HOWEVER...SEEMS TO MOVE BACK INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND LINGERS OVER FLORIDA AND THE NORTHERN GULF ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ALSO...SMALL IMPULSES OF ENERGY SEEM TO ROTATE AROUND THE MAIN TROUGH AND PASS OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. AS THE RIDGE STRENGTHENS AND MOVES NORTHWARD EXPECT WINDS GENERALLY FROM THE EAST SOUTHEAST TO PREVAIL THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...THEN SWITCHING TO THE SOUTHWEST IN THE AFTERNOON AS THE RIDGE SAGS BACK INTO SOUTHERN FLORIDA. THE PRESENCE OF THE REMNANTS OF THE BOUNDARY NORTH OF THE CWA WILL KEEP ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE...WHICH COMBINED WITH WHATEVER ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THE PASSING SMALL VORTEXES COULD CONTRIBUTE ALOFT WILL HELP IN GENERATING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WITH STILL PLENTY OF CLOUD COVER AND SHOWER ACTIVITY EXPECTED THROUGH TUESDAY...TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN BASICALLY AT CLIMO WITH SOME LOCATIONS OVER INTERIOR AREAS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN NORMAL ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON. && .LONG TERM (TUESDAY NIGHT - SUNDAY)...THE CUT-OFF LOW NEAR THE GREAT LAKES REMAINS IN THAT GENERAL VICINITY THROUGH THE PERIOD. CLOSER TO HOME THE MID LEVEL RIDGE SUPPRESSED SOUTH OF FL PUTS A MOIST SW FLOW OVER THE PENINSULA INTO THURSDAY. ON THE SURFACE... THE RIDGE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA MIGRATES OVER CENTRAL FL BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS SHIFTS THE PREDOMINANT WEST FLOW TO EAST FLOW SOUTH AND WEST FLOW NORTH AND WHAT WOULD BE A MORE TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN. BUT TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK THE GFS ELONGATES THE MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE AREA AND ROTATES EAST OF FL PUTTING THE AREA IN A NORTHWEST FLOW. THAT PATTERN WOULD LEAD TO LESS THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND TEMPERATURES A DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE CLIMO. && .AVIATION...PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS NEAR THE COASTLINE. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD RETURN TONIGHT AT ALL TAF SITES. && .MARINE...WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN MARINE ZONES ON MONDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW HIGHLIGHT CRITERIA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD EXCEPT IN THE VICINITY OF THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL BRING PERIODS OF ROUGH SEAS...DEADLY CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
