The episode as NWS TBW wrote it up.
Tornado briefly touches down in Pasco County during afternoon storms.
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 Aug 10, 1:40 PM EST, 3 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 240 PM EDT Tue Aug 10 2021 .DISCUSSION... Similar to the last few days showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop over the forecast area the remainder of the afternoon. As the east coast sea breeze moves west areal coverage of storms will again increase along the I-75 corridor during the late afternoon as the east/west coast sea breeze boundaries collide. Slow and erratic storm motion will support locally heavy rainfall in some locations with some minor flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas possible. Frequent lightning and some gusty winds will also accompany the storms. Tonight the showers and storms will gradually wind down or shift west into the Gulf during the evening with leftover convective debris cloudiness thinning out with skies becoming partly cloudy overnight into early Wednesday morning with low temperatures in lower to mid 70s inland areas, and upper 70s along the coast. Now during Wednesday and Thursday deep layered ridging from the Atlantic extending west across the peninsula and into the eastern Gulf will remain in control with the surface ridge axis meandering about near the FL/GA border with an east southeast wind flow continuing over the forecast area, with an onshore sea breeze component developing along the coast each afternoon. Ample moisture combined with daytime heating will support scattered to numerous diurnal sea breeze driven showers and storms each day with the easterly steering flow favoring storm development over inland areas during the late morning and early afternoon along the westward moving east coast sea breeze boundary, with increasing convective coverage and highest pops then focusing along and to the west of the I-75 corridor during the late afternoon and evening hours as the east and west coast sea breeze boundaries collide. A weak steering flow will continue to favor slow moving storms with some locally heavy rain possible, along with frequent lightning and gusty winds. Now on Friday Potential Tropical Cyclone Six is forecast to track west northwest toward north Cuba and the southeast Bahamas and then into the eastern Gulf of Mexico during the upcoming weekend. At the current time the National Hurricane Center is giving this system a 90% chance of development during the next 48 hours and five days. Models today are in better agreement with the track and overall evolution of this system, and are in decent agreement with the official NHC track, so at this time it appears that weather conditions will be deteriorating (especially along the coast) Friday night and into the weekend with increasing rain chances, winds, and building seas with hazardous marine conditions developing over the Gulf waters, and all residents and visitors to west central and southwest Florida should continue to monitor the progress of this system in the coming days. For additional information on this system, see the latest advisories being issued by the National Hurricane Center in Miami. During early next week high pressure surface and aloft will again build in over the region with a return to scattered diurnal sea breeze driven showers and storms each day during the afternoon and evening hours. Temperatures will run near normal through the period with overnight lows in the 70s, with daytime highs climbing into the upper 80s to lower 90s each afternoon. && .AVIATION... Brief MVFR/IFR conditions will be possible at the terminals between 18-23Z as SHRA/TSRA develop over the region and have covered this with brief Tempo groups during this time frame. Outside of the convection VFR will prevail. East to southeast winds in the 6 to 8 knot range will prevail except becoming onshore from KSRQ north to KTPA and KPIE terminals between 18-20Z with the sea breeze with higher gusts in the vicinity of TSRA. Light and variable winds will return to the terminals after 02Z tonight through early Wednesday morning. && .MARINE... High pressure over the area will maintain tranquil boating conditions on the Gulf waters tonight through early Friday with east southeast winds around 10 knots with slight seas with an onshore sea breeze component developing along the coast each afternoon. Wind and seas will be higher in scattered to numerous showers and storms each day mainly during the late afternoon and evening hours. During late Friday and into the upcoming weekend deteriorating marine conditions are expected with increasing winds and seas as Potential Tropical Cyclone Six moves into the eastern Gulf. For additional information on this system see the latest advisories being issued by the National Hurricane Center in Miami. All mariners should continue to monitor the progress of this system in the coming days. Improving marine conditions are expected over the Gulf early next week in the wake of the aforementioned system as high pressure rebuilds in over the region with diminishing winds and subsiding seas expected. && .FIRE WEATHER... Ample moisture and daily afternoon and evening showers and storms will keep humidity values well above critical levels through the remainder of the week and into the upcoming weekend. Frequent lightning strikes from the storms will pose a risk for fire development and dispersions may occasionally be on the low side due to light winds through Wednesday, otherwise no other fire weather hazards are expected. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
