Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 138 PM EDT Sun Apr 28 2024
DISCUSSION
Ridging aloft remains over the region but is finally weakening and shifting Eward as several shortwaves impact the ridge from the W.
Another easterly surge this evening to keep the occasionally gusty conditions in place with warm and dry temps. Strong high pressure is expected to slowly weaken in the W Atlantic Monday through mid week allowing the gradient to relax with a return of the bay and sea breezes during the afternoons.
The stronger shortwave is expected to bring upper energy through the region Tuesday afternoon with a chance of diurnal seabreeze initiated showers mainly over interior areas in Tue evening.
There may be enough residual energy and moisture lingering over the area for a slight chance of showers Wed afternoon into evening as well.
By Thu and into next weekend, stacked ridging builds back over the region with the warm and mainly dry conditions returning.
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
VFR conditions with combination of cirrus aloft and diurnal SCT lcl BKN050 cumulus clouds with gusty easterly winds through the evening surge. Like last few nights winds decrease overnight and clouds fade. The gradient is expected to slightly weaken Monday for not as gusty winds.

FIRE WEATHER
Warm and dry high pressure continues over the region with occasionally gusty easterly flow and a few hours of low RH values along with occasionally gusty winds and high dispersions in some areas through Monday. Fire weather risk remains somewhat elevated with these conditions, however, fuels expected to remain moist enough to preclude additional concerns.
