WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL
915 PM EDT TUE OCT 4 2005

.UPDATE...TODAY WAS AN ACTIVE DAY FOR GUSTY SHOWERS...WITH MANY
REPORTS OF 40 TO NEARLY 50 MPH WINDS. THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND THE COMPLEX AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
TONIGHT. THIS WILL DRIVE RAIN SHOWERS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STATE
OVERNIGHT SO WILL KEEP 60 POPS IN THE INTERIOR AND 40 POPS
ELSEWHERE. I DON`T EXPECT TO SEE MORE THAN SCATTERED COVERAGE AT
ANY GIVEN TIME...BUT THE OVERALL CHANCES OF ANY ONE PLACE GETTING
MORE THAN A TRACE OF RAIN TONIGHT IS PRETTY GOOD.

THE REST OF THE FORECAST REALLY HINGES ON THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT...
IF ANY...OF THE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER BETWEEN HERE AND THE
BAHAMAS. FOR MOST OF THE DAY WE`VE SEEN THE LOWEST PRESSURES DOWN
IN THE FLORIDA STRAITS WHERE THE CUMULUS LINES HAD VERY LITTLE
OVERALL MOVEMENT IN SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE STRONGEST AND MOST
CONCENTRATED CONVECTION CONTINUED TO BE IN THE BAHAMAS WELL EAST OF
THE SURFACE TROUGH. IF NOTHING ELSE...THIS STATE OF DISORGANIZATION
WILL DELAY ANY SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING OF THIS AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE...BUT IT WILL CERTAINLY BRING ABOVE NORMAL RAINS TO OUR
AREA FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT DAY OR TWO.

WILL BE TWEAKING ZONES SOON...BUT NOT MUCH ACTUAL CHANGE FROM
CURRENT PACKAGE.

&&

.MARINE...MARINE WINDS WERE QUITE GUSTY TODAY...ALTHOUGH THE AVERAGE
WIND SPEEDS HAD REMAINED NEAR 20 KNOTS OFFSHORE AND 15 TO 20 KNOTS
NEAR SHORE. THE FAST MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BROUGHT GUSTS
OF 40 TO 45 KNOTS IN MANY PLACES...WHICH WERE HANDLED WITH SPECIAL
MARINE WARNINGS. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND
THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY LEADING TO LESS THAN IDEAL BOATING
CONDITIONS TO SAY THE LEAST. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS SET TO
EXPIRE SOUTH OF ENGLEWOOD OVERNIGHT...BUT IF WINDS DON`T DIMINISH
SOON...WE MAY HAVE TO EXTEND THE ADVISORY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WILL NOT
MAKE ANY CHANGES AT 1030 PM...BUT AT THE VERY BEST...EXPECT WINDS OF
15 TO 20 KNOTS THERE WITH CONTINUED GUSTS TO GALE FORCE IN SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS.

.TBW WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY BONITA BEACH TO SUWANNEE RIVER FROM 20 TO 60
NM OFFSHORE.
SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION BONITA BEACH TO SUWANNEE RIVER OUT TO
20 NM INCLUDING TAMPA BAY.
