The episode as NWS TBW wrote it up.
Scattered thunderstorms developed along sea breeze boundaries during the afternoon. A few of the storms produced hail and damaging winds. Additionally, lightning from one of the storms sparked a house fire in Tampa.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tampa Bay, FL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 29, 2:40 PM EST, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY RUSKIN FL 340 PM EDT THU MAY 29 2014 .SYNOPSIS... 19Z WATER VAPOR AND H4 RAP ANALYSIS SHOWS A NORTHERN STREAM FLOW ARRIVING OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AROUND THE BASE OF A SHARP TROUGH AXIS BEFORE RIDGING BACK TO THE NORTH THROUGH SOUTH-CENTRAL CANADA. THE FLOW THEN DROPS BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND THEN OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THE OTHER FEATURE OF NOTE IS A CUT-OFF UPPER LOW STALLED NEAR THE BASE OF THE NORTHERN STREAM RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN MS VALLEY. THIS FEATURE WILL NEVER REALLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON OUR LOCAL WEATHER AS IT SPINS AND PLACE AND SLOWLY FILLS DURING THE NEXT 24-48 HOURS. 29/12Z KTBW SOUNDING SHOWS A SEASONABLE PROFILE WITH A PW VALUES OF JUST UNDER 1.5". MID-LEVEL TEMPS ARE A BIT ON THE COOL SIDE WITH A MEASURED 500MB TEMP AROUND -11C. THIS IS ABOUT A DEGREE COOLER THAN THE NAM/GFS FORECAST. A DEGREE DOES NOT SOUND LIKE MUCH...BUT CAN BE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD OF A RISING AIR PARCEL. EITHER WAY...-11C IS ON THE COOL SIDE AND SHOULD HELP SUPPORT AFTERNOON/EVENING STORM DEVELOPMENT...AT LEAST INITIALLY UNTIL LATENT HEAT RELEASE FROM THE EARLY CONVECTION BEGINS TO CONTAMINATE THE OVERALL COLUMN. AT THE SURFACE...THE FL PENINSULA RESIDES ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE AXIS PROVIDING A GENERAL SOUTHEAST FLOW PATTERN IN THE 1000-700MB LAYER. AS LONG AS THE COLUMN IS NOT TOO DRY (WHICH IT IS NOT)...THEN THIS FLOW PATTERN TENDS TO BE WET ONE IN TERMS OF STORMS COVERAGE THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. && .SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)... AS WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH A MODERATE SE FLOW REGIME IN THE LOWER LEVELS...THE EARLIER ACTIVITY HAS FORMED OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES. HAVE SEEN A FEW MORE FOCUSED STORMS OVER THE NATURE COAST...BUT THE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION HAS BEEN DOWN TOWARD FORT MYERS AND PUNTA GORDA. WOULD EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO "RIPPLE" NORTHWARD UP THE SEA-BREEZE DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS INTO THE TAMPA BAY/I-4 CORRIDOR AND THEN EVEN FURTHER NORTHWARD WITH TIME. LOCAL HIRES WRFARW RUNS AND LATEST HRRR CONTINUE TO SUGGEST MODERATE UPDRAFT STRENGTH...INDICATIVE OF A FEW STRONGER STORMS...BUT GENERALLY NOT WIDESPREAD SEVERE. CURRENT RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING CONTINUE TO INDICATE LIKELY WORDING UP ALONG THE I-75 CORRIDOR AND SEE LITTLE REASON TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AT THIS TIME. THIS FLOW REGIME USUALLY SEES THE EARLIER ENDING TO THE CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES WITH THE TAMPA BAY AREA AND NATURE COAST HOLDING HIGHER RAIN CHANCES THROUGH 00-02 UTC. BY LATER THIS EVENING...ALL AREAS SHOULD QUIET DOWN AND RESULT IN A GENERALLY DRY OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH SEASONABLE TEMPS. A VERY SIMILAR SYNOPTIC PATTERN APPEARS TO BE IN PLACE FOR FRIDAY AS WELL. 1000-700MB FLOW IS MODERATE (~10KNOTS) FROM THE SOUTHEAST...AND WITH SIMILAR MOISTURE THROUGH THE COLUMN WITH SHOW EARLY/MID AFTERNOON CONVECTION OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES SPREADING NORTH WITH TIME. THOSE WITH FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING PLANS OUTDOORS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO DEAL WITH AT LEAST A BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN/LIGHTNING. THE SYNOPTIC FLOW REGIME LOOKS TO FAVOR THE FLORIDA WEST COAST SEA BREEZE FOR CONVECTIVE COVERAGE INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. && .MID TERM (FRIDAY-SATURDAY)... AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. ON SATURDAY WITH A REINFORCING SURFACE HIGH BEGINNING TO SINK SOUTHWARD FROM THE NORTH. EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS CONTINUE FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AND STILL EXPECTING A CHANCE FOR RAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS WITH SEA BREEZE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR NORMAL VALUES. .LONG TERM (SATURDAY NIGHT-WEDNESDAY)... THE UPPER-LEVEL HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE REGION WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE NORTH FOR THE START OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD. EASTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WITH SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED SUNDAY ALONG SEA BREEZE AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL DRIFT SOUTHWARD EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH MODELS SHOWING SOME DRIER AIR WORKING SOUTHWARD AS WELL. BACKGROUND EASTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE AND WILL STILL SHOW AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN FOR MOST AREAS EACH DAY...AND MORE OF A CHANCE FOR THE SOUTH WHERE THE INFLUENCE OF DRIER AIR WILL BE LESS. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. && .AVIATION... SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO FILL IN THE AREA WITH SOUTHERN TERMINALS OF KRSW TO KPGD ALREADY BEING AFFECTED. CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FOR THESE AREAS SHOULD DIMINISH BY EARLY EVENING WHILE STORMS WORK THEIR WAY NORTHWARD TO THE TAMPA BAY AREA TERMINALS. WITHIN A FEW HOURS OF SUNSET THE ACTIVITY SHOULD DIMINISH AND RESULT IN A QUIET OVERNIGHT PERIOD WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. MORE AFTERNOON AND EVENING STORMS WILL FIRE UP ON FRIDAY WITH A GOOD CHANCE TO SEE A STORM AT EACH TERMINAL. && .MARINE... HIGH PRESSURE IN THE ATLANTIC CONTINUES TO RIDGE OVER FLORIDA INTO THE GULF WATERS PRODUCING SOUTHEAST WINDS IN THE 8 TO 12 KNOT RANGE. WINDS ALONG THE COAST WILL VEER AROUND TO THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST EACH AFTERNOON WITH THE ONSET OF THE SEA BREEZE. SEAS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 2 FEET THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THE MAIN MARINE CONCERN WILL BE SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING BRIEF GUSTY WINDS AND HIGHER SEAS. && .FIRE WEATHER... THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MOIST LOWER LEVELS WILL PREVENT RELATIVE HUMIDITY FROM REACHING CRITICAL LEVELS...AND NO SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED. EXPECT TYPICAL AFTERNOON STORMS TO DEVELOP EACH DAY AS WELL...WITH RAIN CHANCES REMAINING AT OR ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. FOG POTENTIAL...PATCHY GROUND FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE EACH NIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS EACH DAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
