Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 717 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

New UPDATE, AVIATION

UPDATE
Issued at 715 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Fairly typical late April weather across the region with high pressure surface and aloft over the Florida peninsula, which will hold over the area through Monday. The large scale subsidence associated with the ridge will continue to create mostly clear skies and temperatures several degrees above normal. A weak progressive U/L trough will ride across the southeast U.S. and Florida on Tuesday, however dry conditions will continue. The U/L ridge will build back over the forecast area in the wake of the trough on Wednesday and will persist through the remainder of the week.

DISCUSSION
Rain free forecast continues with ridging aloft from the NW Carib Nward up the Eastern Seaboard through the weekend. W Atlantic high pressure is becoming reinforced as well to tighten the pressure gradient over the FL Peninsula with occasionally gusty easterly winds and warm above normal temps.

An upper trough is expected to move through the N Gulf Coast region early next week suppressing the upper ridge while the Bermuda high weakens and the sea breeze returns to coastal areas through mid to late next week.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 715 PM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024 VFR conditions will prevail for the next 24 hours with FEW- SCT050-060 this evening, becoming mostly clear a few hours after sunset.

MARINE
High pressure continues over the region with generally easterly winds and gusty evening surges with periods of exercise caution level winds and choppy seas on the waters tonight through the weekend. Winds decrease a bit early to mid next week with the afternoon seabreeze returning.

FIRE WEATHER
High pressure continues over the region with the warm and dry conditions remaining in place through the weekend. Minimum humidities are expected to be at or just below critical values each afternoon. Easterly winds become occasionally gusty each afternoon into evening with high dispersions in some areas. Fuel moistures remain just moist enough to prevent red flag conditions though.
