Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 758 PM EST Tue Jan 28 2020

UPDATE. KTBW sounding from this evening sampled a very well mixed layer up to about 880mb. This allowed many of us to climb into the lower 70s but also dry out as dewpoints dipped into the 30s north of I-4. This dry air is helping us cool off rather quickly after sunset as clear skies prevail over much of the area at the moment. Overnight, boundary layer decoupling will continue to occur and light winds with these clear skies will help parts of the Nature Coast fall into the upper 30s to lower 40s. Models suggest a pocket of cirrus may intrude into the area prior to sunrise and if this occurs, cooling should slow or halt. However, temps may fall a little more than currently forecast if cirrus does not develop or it remains thin. For this evening update, a slight nudge downward in low temps was made to give a nod to the expected radiational cooling and align closer to the most recent statistical guidance.

AVIATION. Prevailing VFR through the period with mostly clear skies across northern terminals for much of the night. BKN cigs around 040 possible after 03Z from PGD southward. Northeast winds tonight will shift to southeast by mid-morning, then eventually southwest tomorrow afternoon. VCSH in TAFs from SRQ northward after 19Z with rain possibly spreading farther south later in the evening.

MARINE. Easterly winds will gradually become southerly before shifting out of the northwest on Thursday as a surface low moves across the northeast Gulf waters late on Wednesday. This low will bring a chance for showers into the overnight hours. A stronger low will move into the region Friday into Saturday with marine hazards possible, especially behind the system as high pressure builds in across the Gulf bringing elevated northwest winds.

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.
