365 FXUS62 KTBW 190521 AFDTBW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 121 AM EDT Fri Jul 19 2024 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 121 AM EDT Fri Jul 19 2024 A light ESE flow is in place, with sea breeze circulations continuing to drive thunderstorm activity each day. The most likely window for coastal TAF sites to see on-station impacts ranges from 17Z to 20Z as the west coast sea breeze first begins to form and thunderstorms develop along the boundary near the coast. During this time-frame, there is a 60% to 70% chance for thunderstorms to produce gusty winds and a short window for MVFR to IFR at most coastal terminals. However, storms may linger in the vicinity through much of the afternoon and into the evening as the east coast sea breeze pushes west. This could yield another short window for on- station impacts in the 22Z to 0Z time-frame, but confidence is only sitting around 30% to 40% for the later time. After 0Z, thunderstorms should wind down and a light ESE or even calm flow will return. A very similar pattern will repeat for the next several days with a static atmosphere in place. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
