Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Thu Oct 4 2018
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Leslie, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.
1. A broad low pressure area centered near the northeastern coasts of
Nicaragua and Honduras is producing an extensive area of
disorganized clouds and thunderstorms over the central and western
Caribbean Sea, as well as portions of Central America. While
surface pressures are relatively low in the area, upper-level winds
are currently not favorable for tropical cyclone formation.
Environmental conditions could become less hostile by late this
weekend or early next week, and a tropical depression could form as
the system moves slowly northwestward across the northwestern
Caribbean Sea and the southern Gulf of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.

247 PM EDT Thu Oct 4 2018
...Heat Continues through the Weekend...
.DISCUSSION...
Mid level ridging centered above the southeast U.S. sprawls across
most of the Gulf of Mexico region through the end of the week. A
ridge of surface high pressure over coastal Atlantic waters
extends to the western Gulf coast...between Latitude 30 and 35
North...and eases eastward Fri.
Northeasterly steering and low level flow gradually becomes easterly
overnight then easterly to east-southeasterly during Fri. the
surface low relaxes slightly Fri...enough to allow a very limited
sea breeze effect near the coast. PWAT values range generally 1.3 to
1.5 inches from north to south. However a couple of wide swaths of
higher values...1.6 to 1.9 inches...sweep across this afternoon and
again Fri afternoon over the central and southern counties. This
moisture will provide isolated to low end scattered showers and
storms along and south of the I-4 Corridor. These move from east
to west and will slip out over the Gulf in the early evenings.
Temperatures stay above normal and may approach the record high
values today and Fri.
For Sat through next Thu: Mid-level ridging slides off the southeast
U.S. coast during the weekend then meanders over the adjacent
Atlantic waters for next week while dominating most of the Gulf
region. the surface ridge axis noted above resides between 30 and 35
as it is reinforced from the north Sun-Mon. Toward midweek the
ridge lifts north...over and east of the Mid-Atlantic states as a
trough or low pressure area enters the western Gulf from the
Caribbean. Easterly flow with adequate moisture for scattered
showers and storms prevail into around midweek. Then southeast
becoming southerly flow takes over with some higher speeds and
increasing moisture...with scattered to numerous showers and
storms.
The National Hurricane Center is discussing an extensive area of
disorganized clouds and thunderstorms in the western Caribbean Sea
and gives it a 40% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the
next 5 days.

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
Good afternoon. I'm with WD's post from Ruskin. If something were to develop it looks like it's not coming here.
Largo - the 850 MB maps are at roughly 5,000 feet elevation. You can knock off a good 15% for the projected winds at surface level.
Here's a millibar to altitude map for those interested when looking at models.

200 AM EDT Fri Oct 5 2018
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Leslie, located over the central Atlantic Ocean.
An area of low pressure located near Cabo Gracias a Dios on the
eastern border of Honduras and Nicaragua is accompanied by an
extensive area of disturbed weather extending from Central America
eastward across Hispaniola. Although strong winds aloft are located
just to the north of this system, the upper-level environment is
expected to be conducive enough to allow for some development, and a
tropical depression could form by late this weekend or early next
week over the northwestern Caribbean Sea or southern Gulf of Mexico
while the system moves slowly northwestward. Regardless of tropical
cyclone formation, this disturbance will continue to bring
torrential rains primarily to portions of Central America and the
Yucatan peninsula during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

beaches.
Thunderstorms: A few thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and
evening, primarily along the gulf coast. Lightning is the main
hazard.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
A high risk for rip currents should continue this week in association
with a northeast swell from distant Tropical Storm Leslie. Rough
surf and brisk winds are also possible. Mariners should exercise
caution.
A surge of tropical moisture should arrive early next week in
association with a disturbance over the northwest Caribbean. Wet and
stormy conditions are expected, with flooding a possibility. Stay
tuned for further updates.
Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected. The primary hazards
from these storms are lightning and heavy rain.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation will not be needed today.

Eeek.... What a traffic nightmare that must be.
Last Friday, 4 northbound lanes of 95 were completely blocked right by the exit near my office/house. The traffic on the side roads was horrific, a standstill, gridlock. It took my daughter over a half hour to go about 2-3 miles coming back from Miami.

Man it was a tough commute here this morning as well. I had a deer run in front of me right at my gate. Then a couple miles down the limerock road a flock of turkeys decided they couldn't give me the right of way and I had to wait 30 seconds to let them cross. TGIF.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL
204 PM EDT Fri Oct 5 2018
.DISCUSSION...
Strong upper ridging aloft over the region continues through weekend
before finally moving up into the Mid-Atlantic region early next
week. At the surface, the W Atlantic high pressure ridge axis into
the Deep South will keep a fairly tight 4-6+mb gradient across the
Florida peninsula between low pressure area in NW Carib with
moderate and occasionally gusty easterly steering flow in place.
Limited mean layer moisture and subsidence aloft for mainly only
isolated convection while temps remain well above normal.
Next week`s forecast remains highly uncertain as NHC/WPC move
tropical feature into the C Gulf through mid week then N Gulf later
in the week. Latest guidance keeps system west of the local area
with deepening SE-S-SW flow and increased rainfall chances and waves
along area beaches. Will continue to closely monitor the system for
any additional impacts to the local area.

VFR conditions expected for the next 24 hours with easterly
flow prevailing through the period.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 943 AM EDT Fri Oct 5 2018/
UPDATE...
Latest satellite shows the higher PWAT air gradually moving into
the Gulf of Mexico while drier air mass makes its way into the FL
peninsula. Derived PWAT across the region are still around 1.6 to
1.4 in to the west, even though drier air gradually filters into
S FL this PM. Latest 12Z KMFL sounding depict the drier air
through much of the column especially mid levels. Also, short term
models continue to show drier trend across the east coast this
afternoon while iso showers and thunderstorms still possible in
the interior west of the Lake and west Gulf coast. Expect another
warm day across S FL reaching the low to mid 90s. Current forecast
updates reflect the latest trend on the observation. The High
Risk of Rip Currents continues through the day for all Atlantic
beaches.

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
Thanks Largo. I just saw the update. I don’t trust those storms down there with fronts. I’d be even more concerned if it were later in October

Re: CLOSED Tropical Season heats up for Florida/Alabama
oh ok..thanks Aug, high winds are what scares me damage wise.StAugustineFL wrote:Good afternoon. I'm with WD's post from Ruskin. If something were to develop it looks like it's not coming here.
Largo - the 850 MB maps are at roughly 5,000 feet elevation. You can knock off a good 15% for the projected winds at surface level.
Here's a millibar to altitude map for those interested when looking at models.
