Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 239 PM EDT Tue Apr 16 2024

DISCUSSION
Ridging remains aloft over the Gulf of Mexico this afternoon, with surface high pressure centered east of Florida. This overall pattern will remain in place through the next couple of days before heights lower some later this week in response to some southern stream shortwave energy. Northwest flow briefly develops aloft on Friday as a trough develops over the Atlantic, then zonal flow takes hold once again through the weekend and early next week. At the surface, the ridge sinks southward for the end of the week and through the weekend before a frontal boundary moves toward the peninsula.
Temperatures will warm each day, most noticeably lows, and rain chances remain minimal with subsidence over the region. The next notable rain chance will be Monday with the boundary.

AVIATION
