Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 313 AM EDT Mon Jul 6 2020

DISCUSSION. With a low pressure disturbance off the coast of the Florida Panhandle and surface high pressure off to the east, deep tropical moisture continues to advect into the region, promoting an environment favorable for convection. An appreciable difference between land and water temperatures has led to the development of a land breeze, which has now become evident on radar off the coast. Combined with generally WSW flow, coastal showers and thunderstorms are possible early. These will then transition inland and push off to the east throughout the afternoon. As such, the highest POPs will concentrate inland. However, with ample moisture and sufficient instability, convection will likely regenerate off the coast multiple times throughout the day and could push inland at least somewhat, much like what happened yesterday.

As the low pressure system propagates off to the NE over the next couple days, the surface ridge axis will build back in over Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico. As this occurs, the WSW flow will become more WNW, perhaps advecting slightly drier air into parts of the Central and Southwest Florida peninsula. This will by no means remove rain chances from the forecast. However, it could reduce coverage somewhat, with less overall available moisture.

As the weekend approaches, the upper-level pattern should begin to amplify as a trough axis deepens over the eastern CONUS. An attendant cold front will attempt to make a run at the peninsula over the weekend, but will ultimately stall and slowly fall apart. However, the boundary could serve as a focused region for convection. Where exactly this boundary stalls could play a role in how much rain occurs over the weekend. It is still several days away, so changes will likely occur. Overall the pattern for the next seven days does not really change much: westerly flow will lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms each day, with the greatest coverage across the interior during the afternoon/evening hours with high temps running in the upper 80s to lower 90s each day.

AVIATION. Shower and thunderstorm activity has subsided for now across northern TAF sites while renewed convection off the coast of SWFL will be an area to watch over the next few hours. The land breeze has become evident on radar off the coast of central part of the FL peninsula, and could serve as a renewed source of convection for northern TAF sites in the next couple hours too. Ample moisture and instability throughout the day will keep storms in the forecast through the afternoon and into the evening as WSW flow prevails. Conditions should begin to quiet tonight after sunset with lighter flow prevailing.

MARINE. Ample moisture and instability throughout the day promotes and environment primed for thunderstorm development across coastal waters throughout the entire day. While winds of generally 10-12kts and seas of around 2ft prevail, locally higher winds and seas are possible with passing storms. Westerly flow will continue to prevail for the next several days, keeping showers and storms in play for coastal waters.

FIRE WEATHER. Sufficient low level moisture will keep relative humidity values above critical levels for the next several days with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing throughout the day. Fire weather concerns remain low.
