Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 717 AM EST Fri Feb 21 2020

UPDATE.

A cool, cloudy, windy day is in store for the area today. Skies should be clearing from north to south this afternoon. Winds over the water will justify the SCA currently running. I am contemplating a lake wind advisory but it appear we will be just below criteria. The forecast looks on track this morning the main concern will be adjusting slowly lifting ceilings behind the front.

Prev Discussion. /issued 637 AM EST Fri Feb 21 2020/

AVIATION .

The front has pushed south to near PGD and will continue southward this morning. Behind the front overrunning is producing low ceilings with some IFR conditions. Just ahead of the front is a line of mostly light rain.

Prev Discussion . /issued 313 AM EST Fri Feb 21 2020/

DISCUSSION . A dramatic change is underway across the Florida peninsula as the upper-level trough dragging the attendant cold front pushes through. Surface observations suggest the the surface front is currently somewhere in the Citrus/Hernando/Sumter area. Winds in Pasco/Polk (where reliable) are showing a generally WSW direction. Meanwhile, winds in Levy and outside our area in Marion have shifted to the NE. Temperatures are falling rapidly behind the front. As of 2AM, Cross City airport is reporting a temp of 46F, while the airport at Brooksville is still at 72F. This is a very steep thermal gradient. This strong temperature change will be driving a pretty decent pressure gradient, and subsequently increasing winds through the morning hours. Today will be pretty breezy, and this will only help to reinforce the very noticeable change in weather.

A few light showers are ongoing and will likely continue through the next few hours along and just ahead of the front. Behind the front, a cold NE wind is help advect the substantially colder air into the area. Strong CAA throughout the day means that, in addition to temperatures certainly not warming much, we are also likely to stay quite cloudy through the day. The cloud cover will only reinforce this. The question is when will the clouds lift. Guidance is adamant that conditions will begin to clear out tonight, but we'll see if this holds up as the day progresses.

Temperatures remain cold through Saturday. Tomorrow morning is expected to be the coldest morning. Temperatures will begin to rebound thereafter, with the gradient weakening and high pressure taking over. Some 80s are in the forecast for mid-week, along with some showers as moisture returns and instability increases. With the pattern across the CONUS amplifying through the week, this will not be the last front we see. Another front will arrive Thursday to once again cool things down, brining cooler air back just in time for the weekend.

MARINE . A few showers are pushing through portions of offshore waters along a cold front. As the front passes, winds and seas are increasing, and will do so fairly quickly. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through Saturday morning for all Coastal Waters along with Tampa Bay and Charlotte Harbor. Winds and seas begin to subside thereafter as the pressure gradient begins to weaken, and temperatures will also begin to gradually rebound before another front arrives late in the work week.

FIRE WEATHER . A few light showers will push through over the next few hours as a cold front passes. Behind the front, winds increase and dispersions will too, but they will quickly subside as winds also subside. No other fire weather concerns exist as RH values remain above critical thresholds.

Prev Discussion . /issued 103 AM EST Fri Feb 21 2020/

AVIATION . CIGS have been bouncing at airports, but have generally dropped to IFR for northern terminals, and southern terminals are beginning to see MVFR CIGS. Over the next few hours, all terminals should be IFR, and stay IFR through much of the day, if not longer. Also went ahead and added a TEMPO for -DZ at northern terminals. Some observations sites upstream have been reporting some precip. While there is not much on radar near northern terminals, it is not unreasonable to assume there could be some very light precip below the radar beam, and some webcams north of KTPA/KPIE support this. High-res guidance also continues to show some precip moving through in the next couple hours. Winds are expected to pick up as well with the tightening gradient over the next few hours. Will continue monitoring and update as necessary.
