GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 342 Am Edt Thu Jun 22 2017 Synopsis..High pressure will continue to build into the florida peninsula through the day today as tropical storm cindy gradually moves away from the region. A period of cautionary winds and seas will continue for the offshore waters through this morning with improving conditions this afternoon. From tomorrow well into next week, high pressure looks to remain poised over the region, with light south to southeast winds shifting onshore near the coast each afternoon due to the seabreeze. During this timeframe, the only marine concern will be locally gusty winds and rough seas due to scattered marine Thunderstorms during the late afternoon and evening hours.

Fxus62 ktbw 221215 afdtbw area forecast discussion national weather service tampa bay ruskin fl 815 am edt Thu jun 22 2017 Aviation Some MVFR visibilities with ifr lifr ceilings at the terminals this morning with low clouds and patchy ground fog in place. This will lift and dissipate by 14z, withVFR conditions then prevailing through much of the rest of the period. Only exception may be with scattered afternoon thunderstorms in the 19z-02z window causing some brief MVFR to ifr conditions. Light winds overnight. Prev discussion issued 342 am edt Thu jun 22 2017 short term (today and Friday)... tropical storm cindy continues to approach the northwest gulf coast, where it will make landfall early this morning near the louisiana texas border region. Impacts from cindy continue to be felt well to the east of the center of the storm, with spiral bands of thunderstorms extending across much of the gulf coast and well inland across the southeastern u.S. This activity will generally continue today as the system lifts northward toward the the lower mississippi vally region. As cindy departs, surface high pressure will gradually build in over the florida peninsula, establishing a southeasterly flow pattern. For today, expect similar conditions to yesterday. Much of the morning and early afternoon will feature partly cloudy skies with warm and muggy conditions. By mid to late afternoon, surface heating combined with weak convergence along the seabreeze will allow for scattered storms to develop. The east coast seabreeze will gradually migrate westward, with a seabreeze collision somewhere near the i-75 corridor late afternoon. This should lead to fairly widespread convective coverage, as has been alluded to in recent runs of the 3km NAM and hrrr. Storms may linger into the evening hours for points north of tampa bay, eventually migrating offshore tonight. Gusty winds and frequent lightning will be the main hazards with any storms. On Friday, despite a surface pattern normally favorable for afternoon storms, a ribbon of dry mid level air will move over the florida peninsula. This will bring modest subsidence to the region, suppressing afternoon thunderstorm development. Without much in the way of rain and thunderstorm induced outflows, temperatures will likely be a tick or two warmer than they have of late, and expect most areas to reach the lower 90s. Isolated activity may develop across mainly south florida, but this appears to be a relatively low probability at this juncture. Mid long term (Friday night - Thursday)... a fairly typical summertime forecast can be expected for much of the extended forecast period. To start the weekend, surface ridge axis will shift slightly allowing for a sse se wind flow to become established for the weekend. Some lingering dry mid level air will help to suppress rain chances a bit compared to what we might expect climatologically from this flow regime. That being said,

this will be short lived as rain chances will begin to increase Sunday and especially into early next week as an upper level trough begins to encroach on the northern part of the state. This will support fairly high pops (50-70 percent) for the first half of next week. Temperatures throughout the period will be seasonal with highs within a few degrees of 90 for the weekend with upper 80s more likely Tuesday - Thursday with higher cloud cover rain chances; overnight lows generally in the middle 70s daily, maybe some lower 70s across the nature coast late in the forecast period. Aviation (06z tafs)... light east to southeast winds to persist with prevailing vfr conditions most terminals. Klal will see brief MVFR ceilings on and off through sunrise... With lesser chances of brief lowered ceilings elsewhere. Winds will become more southerly late morning into the afternoon with isolated to scattered thunderstorms developing along the seabreeze. This activity may affect any terminal and will maintain vcts from 19z on. Most activity will shift north of terminals by 00z with a return toVFR conditions thereafter. Marine... tropical storm cindy continues to shift westward, nearing the louisiana coast early this morning. Breezy southeast winds and increased seas will continue to support cautionary conditions offshore this morning. As the storm continues west, high pressure will build in over the eastern gulf. This will allow winds and seas to improve by midday. Over the next several days, high pressure will extend over the waters with light south to southeast flow each day. The seabreeze will shift winds onshore each afternoon with scattered marine thunderstorms possible each day in the late afternoon and evening hours. These could result in locally rougher seas, frequent lightning, and gusty winds. Fire weather... over the next several days, high pressure will extend from the western atlantic ocean into northern and central florida. This will maintain low level east to southeasterly flow and abundant low level moisture. This combined with near daily opportunities for rain will prevent and fire weather concerns through next week.
