Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 636 AM EST Wed Jan 22 2020

AVIATION. VFR conditions with gusty northerly winds around 10-15 knots with higher gusts expected through the day. Winds will decrease to 10 knots or less and veer to the northeast overnight. No other aviation impacts expected.

Prev Discussion. /issued 300 AM EST Wed Jan 22 2020/

SHORT TERM (TODAY - Thursday) . Aloft: A ridge from the western Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes and a trough off the southeast U.S. coast to the northern Bahamas slide east through Thu . with the ridge slipping out over the Atlantic. A low forming over the Canadian Prairies this morning drops south and sets up a long wave trough from the northern plains to the lower Mississippi Valley by Thu. Surface: Robust high pressure in the southern and central Appalachians this morning will shift to the eastern seaboard Thu and weaken as a low well offshore east central FL moves out over the open Atlantic. The upper long wave trough noted earlier develops a low in the Mid- Mississippi Valley with a cold front stretching down into the western Gulf of Mexico.

A dry cold northerly flow is ongoing with temperatures at or below freezing across the northern counties . where the freeze warning is in place . and wind chills at or below advisory criteria for all locations. These temperatures will gradually warm with sunrise . allowing the warnings/advisories to end at 9 AM. Winds continue rather robust and gusty at times . with elevated waters levels along the beaches producing a high risk of rips currents through this evening. As the high pressure shifts east winds will begin to diminish and become more northeasterly allowing some warmer and more moist air to work in. Temperatures tonight will warm but stay just below normal then reach near normal values Thu afternoon.

LONG TERM (Thursday night - Tuesday) . High pressure along the eastern seaboard will be shifting east into the Atlantic at the start of the period as an upper level low and attendant surface low over the central U.S. moves east into the Ohio Valley. As the high moves east winds will become southeast to south on Friday with an increase in moisture supporting increasing cloud cover and some isolated showers during the afternoon with near seasonal level temperatures in the 70s. As the aforementioned storm system moves further to the east-northeast a trailing cold front will move east across the Gulf coast states Friday afternoon, and then south through the forecast area during Friday night and early Saturday, bringing with it some additional low rain chances (Pops 20%) along and ahead of it. Cooler and drier conditions will return Saturday night into Sunday in the wake of the front. During late Sunday night into Monday a short wave trough and weak surface trough will pass across the south-central peninsula with some isolated showers (Pops 20%) possible across central and southern areas, with pleasant dry conditions returning for Monday night into Tuesday as high pressure builds in over the area. Near normal temperatures will fall back to below normal Saturday night into early next week as cooler and drier air moves into the region in the wake of the front.

AVIATION . 22/06Z. VFR. FEW-SCT CU/SC AFT 18Z along with CI AFT 02-04Z. Northerly and gusty winds start to veer and diminish late in the period.

MARINE . Robust to strong winds continue into this evening with a mixture of caution and advisory headlines in place. Winds begin to diminish and veer starting tonight as high pressure to the north slides east. A cold front moves in late Fri and early Sat with some low rain chances. High pressure behind the front builds in for the weekend.

FIRE WEATHER . While cold and drier air continues to filter in on at times gusty northerly winds there has been enough of increase in moisture to keep RH values just above critical levels. Winds begin to veer and diminish tonight . allowing temperatures and humidity to gradually increase through the rest of the week.

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.
