NWS Tampa Bay, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 10, 1:39 PM EST, 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL 239 PM EDT TUE JUN 10 2014 .SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TOMORROW)...SATELITTE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON SHOWS A WIDESPREAD CU FIELD OVER THE PENINSULA WITH A NOTICEABLE PUSH FROM THE WEST COAST SEA BREEZE FROM THE NATURE COAST THROUGH TAMPA BAY. FURTHER SOUTH...STORMS HAVE ALREADY FIRED ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO BUILD NORTHWARD AND INLAND AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. STEPPING BACK AND LOOKING AT THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN...WE STILL HAVE A MID/UPPER LEVEL STACKED TROUGH SHIFTING EASTWARD THROUGH THE NORTHERN GULF. WHILE THIS FEATURE DOES NOT ADVECT SIGNIFICANT JET DYNAMICS OVER THE REGION BY ANY MEANS...MODEL SOUNDINGS DO CONTINUE TO TREND TOWARDS SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS THROUGH A LAYER FROM AROUND 900-500MB. FOR US AT THE SURFACE...THIS CAN TRANSLATE TO INCREASE SHOWER/STORM COVERAGE FROM THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES. FOR THE FORECAST...CONTINUED TO FAVOR INLAND AREAS FOR THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EVENING HOURS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LINGERING ACTIVITY TO SHIFT BACK WESTWARD TOWARDS THE COAST. SIMILAR PATTERN IN PLACE FOR TOMORROW WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE AXIS OVER THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE STATE. ANOTHER GOOD PUSH FROM THE SEA BREEZE COMBINED WITH A SLIGHT SURGE OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH WILL FAVOR THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING NEAR THE I 75 CORRIDOR AND SPREADING WESTWARD. LOCAL HI RES ENSEMBLE CONTINUES TO DOWN PLAY SEVERE POTENTIAL BUT STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM DEVELOPING DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. .PREVIOUS MID TERM (WEDNESDAY NIGHT-THURSDAY)...MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN U.S. AND CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND LIFT NORTHEAST EVENTUALLY BECOMING ABSORBED INTO THE MAIN TROUGH OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL STATES. NEAR THE SURFACE THE RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE REGION. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE WHEN COMBINED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY TO BRING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BOTH DAY...BUT WITH THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW THE TIMING OF CONVECTION WILL SHIFT TO NEAR THE COAST IN THE MORNING THEN MOVING INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL IN THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES AND OVERNIGHT LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S...WITH SOME COASTAL LOCATIONS REMAINING AROUND 80 DEGREES THANKS TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OFF THE RELATIVELY WARM GULF. .PREVIOUS LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT-MONDAY)... MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING WILL LINGER OVER THE EASTERN U.S. INTO SATURDAY THEN RIDGING IS EXPECTED TO BUILD BACK IN FROM THE EAST OVER FLORIDA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO EARLY NEXT WEEK. MEANWHILE NEAR THE SURFACE THE RIDGE AXIS WILL DRIFT NORTH INTO CENTRAL FLORIDA BY SUNDAY WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW ON FRIDAY BECOMING RATHER LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. ENOUGH MOISTURE WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION EACH DAY. THE TIMING OF THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE NEAR THE COAST FRIDAY MORNING THEN SHIFTING INLAND IN THE AFTERNOON. OVER THE WEEKEND THE TIMING WILL RETURN TO A MORE TYPICAL AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE REGION AS THE RIDGE AXIS SETS UP OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO MID 70S AND DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MID 80S TO THE LOWER 90S. && .AVIATION...STORMS ARE FIRING ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AS THE BOUNDARY GRADUALLY SHIFTS WESTWARD. WILL MAINTAIN VCTS AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND TEMPO STORMS AS NECESSARY. AFTER SUNSET...LINGERING ACTIVITY WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO SHIFT BACK TOWARDS THE COAST AND GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN COVERAGE. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST OVER NIGHT. AFTER SUNRISE...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND SET THE STAGE FOR A SIMILAR PATTERN AGAIN TOMORROW. && .MARINE...THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDS ACROSS SOUTHERN FLORIDA PRODUCING LIGHT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS LESS THAN 10 KNOTS AND SEAS LESS THAN 2 FEET ACROSS THE COASTAL REGION. ONCE AGAIN THE WINDS ALONG THE COASTLINE WILL SHIFT TO AN ONSHORE FLOW AS THE SEA BREEZE SETS UP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN LIGHT UNTIL WEDNESDAY WHEN THE WINDS PICK UP TO THE 10 TO 15 KNOT RANGE AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE AND AN APPROACHING FRONTAL BOUNDARY...BUT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW HEADLINE CRITERIA. && .FIRE WEATHER...NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS IN TERMS OF RH OR WIND BUT THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL CONTINUES. EXPECT A SIMILAR PATTERN TOMORROW WITH STORMS ALONG THE SEA BREEZE SPREADING WESTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. GENERAL FLOW FROM THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY DURING THE MID AFTERNOON. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
