300 FXUS62 KTBW 060650 AFDTBW Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 250 AM EDT Sun Jul 6 2025 .DISCUSSION... Low pressure aloft continues to spin over the region while Tropical Storm Chantal moves toward the Carolina coast. There is also a weak surface trough across the Florida peninsula that has aided in some of the convection from last night. As we head through today, Chantal will move onshore and the boundary over the peninsula will wash out. Moisture will not be as high today compared with previous days, so rainfall coverage should be lower. Then for the rest of the week, we get back to a more typical summertime storm pattern as the Atlantic ridge builds back in. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) A few showers continue near area terminals early this morning and will remain possible through daybreak, though impacts are expected to be limited. For the rest of the day, storm coverage should be lower, but still expecting activity moving in southwest flow early afternoon into the evening before most convection shifts east of the terminals. && .MARINE... Winds and seas will remain below headlines for the next several days. Daily showers and storms are expected and will produce briefly higher winds and seas. && .FIRE WEATHER... No fire weather concerns as relative humidity values will remain above critical levels. Warm and humid summertime conditions will continue, with scattered showers and thunderstorms each day. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
