GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 249 Pm Edt Fri Jul 19 2019
Synopsis.. High pressure continues to ridge over the area producing pleasant boating conditions over the coastal waters. Winds remain southeast 10 knots or less with a shift to onshore close to the coast each afternoon through the weekend and seas will remain less than 2 feet. The high pressure ridge will shift farther south by Tuesday next week as a trough moves toward the eastern u.s. This will cause a shift in the winds to the west-southwest at 10 knots or less. The only hazards will be daily scattered Thunderstorms, which will produce gusty winds, choppy seas and dangerous lightning in the vicinity of these storms.

This will keep us in florida sea breeze regime 6 with a predominant southeast wind flow between 4-10 knots. With this relatively low wind speed, we can expect the west coast sea breeze to push inland each day between 10-30 miles during the early to mid afternoon hours. The initial showers and storms will move in from the southeast early afternoon, followed by west coast sea breeze showers and storms by mid afternoon. The boundary collisions could produce some strong storms with gusty winds, heavy downpours and frequent lightning. The highest coverage of storms early afternoon will be over the interior with some storms moving back toward the coast late afternoon into the evening. Similar conditions can be expected on Saturday. Daytime high temps will reach the low to mid 90's with heat indices between 100-103 degrees and overnight lows in the mid to upper 70's. Mid long term (Saturday night - next Saturday) The synoptic pattern remains unchanged to start the mid long term period. The upper ridge and surface high continues to extend over florida keeping us in a southeast flow pattern through late Monday into Tuesday. At that time, the ridge shifts south as a broad upper trough over the great lakes begins to swing east-southeast over the eastern u.S. On the surface, an area of low pressure over new england stretches a frontal boundary southwest along the east coast then westward to texas. This boundary will stall out and linger over southern ga northern fl through the end of next week. This will bring a shift in winds putting us in florida sea breeze regime 4 with winds out of the southwest at 4-10 knots. Under this pattern, scattered showers and storms will develop over the coastal waters coastline early morning and move inland during the afternoon evening hours. The highest coverage will be over the far inland counties mid afternoon with improving conditions along the coastline later in the day. This pattern will continue through the end of next week. Temperatures will run around average for the remainder of the period. |
Aviation PredominantVFR conditions with light onshore winds 10 knots or less with an afternoon seabreeze. Radar is mostly quiet now, but scattered tsra shra will develop between 18-21z along the florida west coast, so will hold vcts at all terminals through 00z and vcsh until 03z with some brief periods of MVFR ifr for low cigs and vsby as well as gusty winds possible in passing storms. Winds will become light and variable once again after 03z tonight. No other aviation impacts expected. Marine High pressure continues to ridge over the area producing pleasant boating conditions over the coastal waters. Winds remain southeast 10 knots or less with a shift to onshore close to the coast each afternoon through the weekend and seas will remain less than 2 feet. The high pressure ridge will shift farther south by Tuesday next week as a trough moves toward the eastern u.S. This will cause a shift in the winds to the west-southwest at 10 knots or less. The only hazards will be daily scattered thunderstorms, which will produce gusty winds, choppy seas and dangerous lightning in the vicinity of these storms. Fire weather Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms can be expected each day across west central and southwest florida. These daily showers and storms combined with high humidity levels and winds less than 10 knots will preclude any fire weather impacts over the next several days.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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. |
