005 FXUS62 KTBW 010013 AFDTBW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 813 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024 ...New UPDATE, AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 813 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024 Increased moisture allowed for isolated to scattered showers and a few storms to develop over the interior this afternoon along sea breeze boundaries. A few areas of convection are still lingering over the interior south of Interstate 4, but this activity is dying down now with the loss of daytime heating. The forecast overnight looks on track with rain free conditions setting in by midnight, and some areas of fog possible during the early morning hours, mainly over the Nature Coast counties. A few minor tweaks were made to the rain chances for the next few hours to keep up with radar trends. No other changes planned for the evening update. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 813 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024 A few lingering showers or storms could impact southwest Florida TAF sites in the next few hours around KRSW, KFMY, and KPGD, dissipating by around 02-03z. VFR conditions will hold through at least Wednesday morning. Isolated to scattered showers and storms will be possible again Wednesday afternoon, but confidence is not high enough to mention in the TAFs at this time. && .MARINE... Issued at 243 PM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024 High pressure will remain across the waters with winds and seas below headline criteria. The overall flow will be rather light and variable over the next couple of days with a shift to onshore and speeds increasing to around 10 knots with the sea breeze each afternoon. By late in the week a more east to southeast flow will setup, but we`ll still see a shift to onshore with the sea breeze each afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
