Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
258 AM EDT Sat Jun 4 2022
.DISCUSSION...
The main forecast concern remains the impacts associated with
Potential Tropical Cyclone One, currently moving northeast through
the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and forecast to cross southern
Florida later today. While the system has been slow to organize,
long durations of rain over southwest Florida have contributed to
an areal flood risk, with a flood watch still in effect for
Sarasota, DeSoto, Highlands, Charlotte, and Lee counties through
this evening. The tropical storm warning remains in effect from
Englewood south and inland from Polk county south, as some breezy
winds will still be possible as the storm crosses the state. These
breezy winds will also cause a high risk of rip currents along
area beaches.
The system will cross Florida into the Atlantic by this evening
and lift northeast through early next week, with surface ridging
building into Florida from the north. Slightly drier air is
forecast to wrap in behind the system Sunday, which should
suppressrain chances slightly. Monday through the rest of the
week, light east flow will lead to scattered showers and storms
developing each afternoon and building towards the west coast
through the early evening with the sea breeze collision.
&&
.AVIATION...
Potential Tropical Cyclone One continues to lift northeast towards
Florida, bringing numerous showers and a few thunderstorms and gusty
winds that will reduce flight categories through much of the period.
IFR ceilings and visibilities will be possible with the heavier rain
bands, with the highest chances through mid morning. Conditions
could begin to improve Saturday afternoon as showers lift northeast
and slightly drier air wraps in behind the tropical system.
&&
.MARINE...
Disturbed marine conditions will continue this morning as Potential
Tropical Cyclone One moves northeast through the southeastern Gulf
of Mexico and into the Florida Peninsula, with gusty winds,
elevated seas, and widespread showers. Conditions will gradually
improve this afternoon through the rest of the weekend as the
system lifts northeast and into the Atlantic. High pressure will
then ridge into the coastal waters from the northeast through
early next week, with generally light winds and seas expected.
However, thunderstorms will be possible each day, producing
locally higher winds and seas.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Relative humidity values will not drop to critically low levels
during the next couple days. High dispersion indices are expected
in some locations this afternoon, mostly over the Nature Coast
counties.
