(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus62 ktbw 220905 afdtbw area forecast discussion national weather service tampa bay ruskin fl 505 am edt Thu aug 22 2019 Discussion (today-Wednesday) For today the surface and mid level ridging from the western atlantic ocean westward near the florida georgia border and across the northeast gulf coast will remain in control as an inverted trough tropical wave approaches from the southeast. Some drier descending air on the northwest side of the approaching trough will result in lower rain chances across the northern and central zones with pops in the 20 to 40 percent range expected from north to central areas. Across southwest florida deeper moisture will return during the afternoon leading with rain chances between 50 and 60 percent. The east to southeast steering flow will favor the timing of convective coverage along the gulf coast during the mid-afternoon into early evening hours. Any convection will move west out into the eastern gulf during the evening hours with skies becoming mostly clear to partly cloudy overnight. For Friday the atlantic ridge will meander about the northern peninsula with the aforementioned inverted trough wave moving into the southern florida peninsula. This will bring the deep moisture a little further north with 40 to 60 pops from around the interstate 4 corridor southward, while the far north remains 30 percent of less. On Saturday the models depict differing solutions with the movement of the wave. The ECMWF keeps it over the florida peninsula with the deepest moisture and highest pops along the east coast while the other models drift it into the southeast gulf keeping the deep moisture from around the interstate 4 corridor southward. For now have gone with likely pops for the interior and south zones with scattered pops elsewhere. During Sunday and Monday a weakening frontal boundary will drift into the southeast states with the models developing a weak low off the florida east coast that moves northeast away from the region. This pattern will setup a more south to southwest flow across the area and with ample moisture remaining in place we'll continue to see unsettled weather with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. As is typical with this setup the best timing for the convection will be over the coastal waters and near the coast during the late night and morning hours then |
shifting inland during the afternoon and evening. Tuesday into Wednesday an upper level trough will move into the eastern u.S. Helping to push the surface ridge axis further south setting up a more southwest to west flow with a continuation of the scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Aviation Vfr conditions should prevail this morning, then scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to move west during the afternoon and evening causing some MVFR local ifr conditions, especially at the southern TAF sites of pgd, fmy and rsw. Light winds early this morning will become easterly at 5 to 8 during the mid to late morning hours into the afternoon. The exception will be at tpa, pie and srq where the bay sea breeze will shift winds to onshore during the afternoon. Winds could be briefly higher in the vicinity of any convection with gusts up to around 30 knots possible. Marine High pressure will continue to ridge across florida and into the northeastern gulf of mexico into the weekend, with generally east to southeast winds turning onshore with the afternoon sea breeze. Winds and seas will remain below headline criteria except higher near any showers and thunderstorms. An inverted trough will move northwest into the gulf during the weekend, with winds becoming more south to southwest by Monday. Fire weather Abundant low level moisture will keep relative humidity values above critical levels through the period with no red flag conditions expected. No significant fog is expected.

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. |
