Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 147 PM EDT Sat Jul 23 2022 ...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE, FIRE WEATHER... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 146 PM EDT Sat Jul 23 2022 Looking at the synoptic pattern not much will be changing over the next 7 days. Ridging remains to our north and we will continue to see a south to southeast flow. This regime typically brings inland storms starting in the afternoon that will drift towards the coast in the late afternoon and evening hours. With the regime not really changing to much the only other thing to look at is PW when it comes to the summertime PoPs forecast. We are looking at very similiar conditions today as compared to yesterday so once again we could see some strong storms along the coast by the evening hours. For tomorrow we will look at some drier air coming in which will result in lower PoPs across the area. Moisture returns quickly for the early part of our work week which will bring the higher PoPs back into the forecast however drier air looks to return with lower PoPs for next Thursday and Friday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 146 PM EDT Sat Jul 23 2022 VFR conditions expected through the period outside of thunderstorm activity. Best chance to see storms will be in the late afternoon and evening hours at TAF sites. Winds will be southerly in the morning with a seabreeze kicking in by the afternoon hours. && .MARINE... Issued at 146 PM EDT Sat Jul 23 2022 Ridging remains to our north which will continue to give us a south to southeast flow through much of the period. Winds should generally remain below 15 knots however we could see some nightly surges of around 15 knots starting on Monday. The main hazards each day will in the evening hours as storms push off the coast and into the Gulf of Mexico which could bring some isolated stronger gusts with the stronger thunderstorms. && .FIRE WEATHER...
