GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 155 Pm Edt Fri May 17 2024
Synopsis - Southwest to west winds will continue through the weekend ahead of an approaching frontal boundary, which will bring increasing rain chances to the waters starting Saturday and continuing through Sunday and even into early next week. Rain chances then diminish for the rest of the week as high pressure builds in. Overall, no headlines are expected, just higher winds and seas within storms.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 154 PM EDT Fri May 17 2024

DISCUSSION
A weakened MCS responsible for some early storms continues to shift eastward away from the region this afternoon as a frontal boundary remains draped across the central peninsula. With low- level southwest winds in place, expect any remaining rainfall to generally shift inland through the rest of the day, though overall chances are low. The boundary continues to lift northward tonight into Saturday, with southwest winds continuing ahead of another front moving into the southeast. With this setup in place, we can expect more showers and storms for Saturday afternoon, with the best chances north and then inland. By Saturday night into Sunday, the front will move over the peninsula, with higher rain chances through the day. The boundary lingers over south Florida for Monday, keeping a chance for some showers and storms in the forecast, but then high pressure builds in and keeps rain chances lower through the rest of the week.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
VFR conditions are expected through much of the period. There is some question of patchy fog or low clouds early tomorrow morning, but confidence remains too low for inclusion in the TAFs.

MARINE
Southwest to west winds will continue through the weekend ahead of an approaching frontal boundary, which will bring increasing rain chances to the waters starting Saturday and continuing through Sunday and even into early next week. Rain chances then diminish for the rest of the week as high pressure builds in. Overall, no headlines are expected, just higher winds and seas within storms.

FIRE WEATHER
No Red Flag concerns over the next few days as relative humidity values will remain above critical levels. Some patchy fog will be possible tonight, mainly for the northern half of the area.
