Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 706 PM EST Thu Jan 23 2020

UPDATE. Isolated showers over the interior this afternoon have largely dissipated, although a few areas of sprinkles are still apparent on KTBW radar early this evening, and other areas of light rain developing overnight can't be completely ruled out. The main forecast concern overnight will be the possibility of fog development after midnight tonight. Despite abundant low level moisture, abundant clouds and slightly breezy winds should limit how much fog can form, although conditions will be slightly more favorable over southwest Florida and over the interior, and a few patches of fog are still expected to develop

A few minor forecast adjustments were made to the rain chances and fog wording overnight. Otherwise, no significant changes are planned for the evening update.

AVIATION. Mostly VFR conditions should hold through midnight, although a few patches of MVFR and IFR ceilings are currently lingering around KLAL over the interior. MVFR/IFR ceilings and some patchy fog are expected to develop across much of the area beginning around 06-08z, although isolated spots could see flight category reductions before that. VFR conditions will gradually return by around 14-15z on Friday.

MARINE. A weak cold front will move southeast through the eastern Gulf of Mexico Friday afternoon through Saturday morning, with winds turning to northerly and increasing to around 15 knots. Isolated to scattered showers will be possible with ahead of this front on Friday. Winds will then subside again through the rest of the weekend, as high pressure builds in north of the waters. An area of low pressure will develop in the western Gulf of Mexico and move east into the coastal waters on Monday, bringing increased chances of showers.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
