Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 902 AM EDT Mon Jul 13 2020

DISCUSSION UPDATE. A record low PWAT value of 1.10 has been set this morning at KTBW as dry airmass moves across the peninsula today. This will limit the amount of showers and thunderstorms through much of the day, but a few storms could develop over the water and move inland, especially across the Nature Coast and south of Charlotte County where conditions will be more favorable during the afternoon and evening hours. Westerly flow will prevail and will still feel very moist and warm with highs in the 90s and heat indices in triple digits. Otherwise, forecast remains on track.

AVIATION UPDATE. VFR conditions will continue through the period with dry airmass moving across the area limiting rainfall chances today. Westerly winds will prevail between 08-12 knots in the afternoon. The highest chances for convection remain after 15Z, and there could a few showers that develop near TPA and PIE, but kept VCSH conditions out of the forecast for now as uncertainty on storm development still exists due to the drier air.

Prev Discussion. /issued 328 AM EDT Mon Jul 13 2020/

SYNOPSIS . At the start of the work week, a longwave upper level trough resides across the eastern half of the CONUS. Several embedded shortwaves will be lifting northeast out of the Central Appalachians, resulting in a deamplification of the broader trough. This troughing pattern extends to the surface along with a diffused front that had stalled out over the Peninsula yesterday. The subtropical high will be located near Bermuda with the ridge axis well south of FL - over Cuba.

DISCUSSION . Tuesday will be a similar set up as far as low-level flow pattern goes. Moisture recovery will result in higher PoP coverage with the early morning showers coming in off the Gulf, transitioning to convective activity favoring our inland counties through the remainder of the day. Temps will be very similar to Monday's - a degree or two above climatology .

Our pattern finally shifts by Wednesday as broad surface ridging sprawls across the southeast, weakening the flow over our area. A limiting factor to convective development will be less than optimal moisture. Depending on where this small pocket of lower PWATs resides will determine who has the best chance of rain. Decided to trim down PoPs compared to model blend to reflect this. Regardless, the greatest chance of precip will be well inland, across the eastern portions of our inland counties

Thursday will be a transition day of our low-level pattern as weak east to northeast flow will be in place, along with adequate moisture to support scattered to numerous afternoon showers and storms. Moving forward into Friday through the weekend, rain chances will shift dramatically in our favor (i.e. the western half of the Peninsula) as strong east to southeast flow returns to the Sunshine State. Under this regime, the Tampa Bay area along with all of our coastal communities can expect late afternoon/evening storms, with outflow boundaries moving out over the waters around sunset. Overnight and early morning showers and storms will be possible over the waters while we are in this easterly flow . Same story for temperatures with highs in the low-mid 90s, and lows in the 70s through the remainder of the period.

MARINE . Westerly winds will continue through mid week with possible showers during the early morning hours. Weak winds return Wednesday with onshore sea breeze in the afternoon. Thursday through the weekend, east winds will favor showers and storms over the waters by late evening through the overnight hours. No headlines are anticipated through the period. The main threat will be associated with showers and thunderstorms that will be capable of producing frequent lightning, locally gusty winds, and rough seas.

FIRE WEATHER . Daily afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be capable of frequent lightning and gusty winds from outflow boundaries. Otherwise, ample low-level moisture will preclude any major fire weather concerns through the period.
