Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 235 PM EDT Sun Jul 11 2021 .DISCUSSION... Deep layer ridging from the Atlantic stretching across the northern half of the state pivots up into the south US Mon. An upper low spinning across the Mid-Mississippi Valley lifts up toward the Great Lakes while an upper low/trough south of the Florida Keys moves west into the Gulf of Mexico. A east or southeast flow spreads across the entire area tonight and continues Mon with an increase in speeds. The Moisture rich air of this afternoon will begin to dry slightly later tonight with a large swath of PWAT values around 1.5 inches but increases up 1.8 inches for Mon afternoon. Isolated showers/storms across the far interior are propagating toward the Gulf coast. These will fill in as they approach the sea breeze boundaries...close to the coast in the south but reaching a bit more inland in the north. The showers and storms will wind down and slide offshore around sunset...with the loss of daytime heating. The pattern Mon will be similar although the drier air in the morning and early afternoon may delay the convection some and a more robust east or southeast flow will keep the sea breeze closer to the entire coast. From Tue through next Sun: The center of the deep layer ridging remains anchored off the Mid-Atlantic coast with an axis initially reaching across the southeastern states that rotates back over FL and the Gulf around midweek. Another upper low/trough forms near the Bahamas by the weekend. The atmosphere remains generally moist with scattered to at times numerous showers/storms. A prevailing easterly flow will result in convection favoring the Gulf coast in the afternoon and early evening hours. && .AVIATION... 11/18Z TAFs. Prevailing VFR but with SCT CB til 03Z providing brief MVFR and PSBL LCL IFR. S winds take on an onshore component during the afternoon AOB 08KT...except gusty near TSRA. Light and VRBL winds overnight then SE AOB 09KT AFT 14-15Z. && .MARINE... High pressure across the waters lifts into GA by Mon and resides there at least through midweek with prevailing winds becoming east or southeast...except for sea breezes along the coast in the afternoons. Winds/seas 15 knots/3 feet or less although higher in and near showers and thunderstorms...scattered to at times numerous. && .FIRE WEATHER... Adequate moisture prevails to preclude low RH concerns and to support daily showers and storms Increased wind speeds will create some high dispersions Mon and Tue. && .Preliminary Point Temps/PoPs...
