12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 225 PM EDT Sat Jul 4 2020
DISCUSSION. Upper troughing continues to extend through the western Atlantic, across northern Florida and the northern gulf coast states. The surface reflection of this trough is a stalled out frontal boundary that has been lingering over the GA/FL line the past few days. Interaction between this boundary and upper ridging and surface high pressure over the Florida Straits will keep a warm and moist west- southwest wind flow over the region through the weekend and into next week. This pattern will support scattered showers streaming in from the gulf coast waters early in the morning and traversing eastward through the afternoon hours. The boundary shifts slightly southward on Sunday and Monday bringing increased moisture and instability and will produce higher rain/storm chances and Sunday and Monday. With minimal change in the synoptic pattern, temperatures will remain consistent with daytime highs in the low to mid 90's each day and overnight lows in the mid to upper 70's. Heat indices each day will range from 100-105 degrees during the afternoon hours.
AVIATION. Overall VFR conditions will prevail through the period with WSW winds around 6-12 knots with some higher gusts near showers and storms. Showers and storms have already been streaming in from the gulf waters through the morning and will continue over the next several hours, so will hold VCTS through 00Z for all terminals. Conditions clear late this evening with light winds expected overnight. SHRA is expected again by early Sunday morning after 12Z with the highest coverage from SRQ northward.
MARINE. West-southwest winds around 10-15 knots and seas 2 feet or less will persist over the gulf coast waters as high pressure ridges through the Florida Straits. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible each day moving from west to east, with the highest chances north of Tarpon Springs. Higher wind gusts and rough seas as well as dangerous lightning can be expected in the vicinity of passing thunderstorms.
FIRE WEATHER. Scattered showers and isolated storms can be expected each day for the next week. These showers combined with high humidities each day will preclude any fire weather concerns.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
