Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 127 PM EDT Fri Jul 10 2020

AVIATION. Widely scattered SHRA and and few TSRA may bring brief MVFR cigs/vsbys to the coastal terminals through 21Z and through 00Z at the southwest terminals and KLAL, otherwise VFR will prevail. SHRA and isolated TSRA may bring additional MVFR conditions to the coastal terminals after 09Z Saturday as additional convection moves onshore from the Gulf and have handled with VCSH/VCTS for now, otherwise VFR will continue. West to northwest winds in the 10 to 15 knot range this afternoon will diminish to 7 to 10 knots after 02Z tonight.

Prev Discussion. /issued 902 AM EDT Fri Jul 10 2020/

UPDATE . A frontal trough sinking in from the north and high pressure to the south and extending west into the Gulf is supporting a deep layered west-northwest wind flow across the forecast area this morning. 12Z Raob data shows a very moist air mass in place with a PW of 1.91 inches, which is up about 2/10 of an inch from yesterday at this time. Morning 88D returns show widely scattered showers and isolated storms moving in from the Gulf with additional showers and storms also firing off over inland areas within the moist and unstable air mass.

As for the remainder of today expect to see the highest rain chances and best areal coverage of showers and storms to focus over inland and eastern portions of the peninsula which is typical for a westerly flow regime. Rather warm mid level temperatures (-4 to -5C at 500MB) should keep the threat for severe storms in check, but with the deep layered moisture in place and a skinny area of Cape noted on the Raob data locally heavy downpours and localized flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas as well as the ponding of water on roadways will be possible as the storms move east-southeastward at 10 to 15 mph through the day. It will be warm and humid with afternoon highs topping out around 90 to the lower 90s with heat indices in the 105 to 107 degree range which is just shy of Heat Advisory criteria. Current forecast has a good handle on things with no updates or changes required at this time.

MARINE . West-northwest winds in the 10 to 15 knot range with seas of 2 feet or less will continue over the Gulf waters the remainder of today. Higher winds and seas will be possible in the vicinity of showers and storms, otherwise no headlines are expected. Ongoing forecast is on track with no changes expected in the next update around 10 AM.

TBW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. FL . None. Gulf waters . None.

AVIATION . 57/McMichael

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.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
