New UPDATE, AVIATION
UPDATE
Issued at 905 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Shower and thunderstorm activity continues along the FL West Coast this morning, primarily around the Tampa Bay Area. Early 12Z sounding data shows a rather saturated atmosphere, with ACARS soundings showing a PWAT of 1.8 inches in the area. This would support the convection being seen in this area.
Meanwhile, SWFL is starting off the day much drier. By comparison, the PWAT from RSW ACARS is only around 1.3 inches. Water vapor satellite imagery shows drier air working into the area, and this should continue to overspread through the day. This is likely limit the overall storm coverage significantly. As such, have gone ahead and lowered rain chances this afternoon and tomorrow.
However, they have been increased this morning around SWFL.
Additionally, a few tweaks to wind speeds, mainly over the coastal waters, have also been made. The current forecast was underdoing actual conditions, so nudged them up in response. Otherwise, the forecast looks on track. A relatively typical summer pattern, albeit drier, looks to be settling in for the next couple days at least.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 905 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Morning thunderstorms are drifting along the coast, in the vicinity of mainly TPA and PIE now. Over the next couple hours, this should diminish as drier air lifts over the area from the south. While there will be a short window for thunderstorms this evening, the overall setup is not particularly favorable. The better chance will probably again be near the coast after sunset and into the early morning hours. Overall, though, more limited impacts for terminals are expected through the middle of the week. With an ESE flow remaining and moisture again increasing later this week, impacts become more likely by mid-week.
DISCUSSION
Issued at 352 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Ridging to our north will continue through our work week. This will allow for our southeasterly winds to continue keeping us in a regime 6. This regime normally favors storms on the west coast of Florida in the late afternoon and evening hours. The main difference during the week will be some drier air filter into the area. This will bring PWs down closer to 1.5. This will result in some lower PoPs compared to what we saw late last week with the southeasterly winds.
As we head into next weekend the ridge looks to shift a little closer to use and shift our winds more northeasterly. This regime typically gives us lower rain shower chances with the best chance being in southwest Florida.
MARINE
Issued at 352 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025 South to southeasterly winds around 5 to 10 knots will prevail for much of our work week as ridging stays to our north.
Best chance of showers and storms over the Gulf will be in the evening and overnight hours as storms start to move off the land.
Winds will shift more northeasterly on Friday as the ridge shift a little closer to Florida.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 352 AM EDT Mon Jun 16 2025
Summertime convection and humidity will keep fire dangers at a minimum.
