Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 343 AM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024

DISCUSSION
Upper-level troughing will move across the southeast today, with a slight increase in instability for the Florida peninsula. At the surface, high pressure remains centered to our east, keeping a light southeast flow over the region that will give way to the sea breeze in the afternoon. This setup will favor a sea breeze collision over the interior late in the day, and a slight uptick in moisture, along with the increased instability, will lead to additional showers and possibly a few storms over this region. Lingering troughing over the region for Wednesday combined with the sea breeze, will allow for a similar setup as far as rain chances go. The rest of the week really features seasonable weather, with daily sea breezes and a few showers expected. Otherwise, we should continue to see plenty of sunshine along with warm temperatures.
