Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tampa Bay Ruskin FL 1253 PM EDT Tue May 21 2024

DISCUSSION
The pattern aloft this afternoon features high pressure centered over Mexico and and troughing to our east, with flow over the region out of the north-northeast. At the surface, high pressure over the mid-Atlantic region ridges down across Florida. For the rest of the day, expect a few showers and storms to continue over the interior, but hot and dry conditions will prevail otherwise. The rest of the week looks to be rather uneventful as ridging builds over the region aloft and increasing subsidence leads to lower rain chances. Only southwest Florida and the interior could see a shower or too, but rainfall amounts are forecast to be on the low side. Conditions otherwise will remain hot, with high temperatures topping out in the mid to upper 90s.

The upper ridge holds through the weekend and even into next week, though it does flatten some as a shortwave moves by to the north.
Surface high pressure shifts eastward some, with a low-level southerly flow leading to an increase in moisture and slightly higher rain chances.
