FW: Weather Warnings Public Information Statement

Sun Apr 5 09:30:31 PDT 2009

Dear Tom, I saw you report just before posting this one,

You might want to explain for some the differences on the
LAKE EFFECT versus the GULF EFFECT as it is mentioned
in the public info statement seen below...

73 and thanks for your information.

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL
500 AM EDT SUN APR 5 2009

...MUCH COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER FOR MIDWEEK...

AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF WARM WEATHER A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY BRINGING CLOUDS AND SOME RAIN TO THE
REGION. BEHIND THIS FRONT BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL USHER IN
MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR. AS THIS COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE
RELATIVELY WARM GULF OF MEXICO WATERS THE LARGE DIFFERENCE IN
TEMPERATURE...NEARLY 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT...WILL LEAD TO WHAT
COULD BE CALLED GULF EFFECT. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE LAKE EFFECT
THAT OCCURS AROUND THE GREAT LAKES WHERE COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE
WARMER LAKES RESULTING IN CLOUDS AND BANDS OF SNOW. HOWEVER...
UNLIKE THE GREAT LAKES...TEMPERATURES WILL NOT BE COLD ENOUGH FOR
SNOW...BUT WE COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES MOVE IN
OFF THE GULF.

TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE 10 TO AS MUCH AS 20 DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL AND ONLY CLIMB INTO THE 60S, EXCEPT LOWER 70S OVER SOUTHWEST
FLORIDA. TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING IS EXPECTED TO BE
THE COLDEST WITH TEMPERATURES PREDICTED TO FALL INTO THE 30S ACROSS
MOST OF THE NATURE COAST WITH SOME OF THE NORMALLY COLDER INLAND
LOCATIONS DROPPING TO NEAR FREEZING. FURTHER SOUTH MOST INLAND
LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA ARE EXPECTED TO FALL
INTO THE 40S WITH A FEW LOCATIONS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S.
THESE TEMPERATURES COULD APPROACH RECORD LOW VALUES IN A FEW
LOCATIONS...BUT NO MATTER IT WILL FEEL EVEN COLDER THANKS TO THE
BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS THAT WILL CAUSE WIND CHILL VALUES TO DROP
INTO THE 20S AND 30S.

DURING WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE GULF OF
MEXICO WITH WINDS DIMINISHING AND TEMPERATURES WARMING UP INTO THE
MID 60S TO MID 70S...BUT STILL ABOUT 8 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE HIGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA AND OUT INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN. THIS WILL
ALLOW WINDS TO BECOME LIGHT UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKIES SETTING US UP
FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER
40S ACROSS MUCH OF THE NATURE COAST WITH MID TO UPPER 40S
STRETCHING SOUTHWARD INTO INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

RESIDENTS OF WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA...ESPECIALLY THOSE
ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PROTECT TENDER
VEGETATION AND PETS TUESDAY NIGHT. PROLONGED TEMPERATURES IN THE
30S MAY DAMAGE SENSITIVE VEGETATION...AND CAN BE HARMFUL TO PETS.
IN ADDITION...IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUTDOORS LATE EACH NIGHT INTO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BE SURE TO BUNDLE UP AND DRESS IN LAYERS.
IF YOU PLAN ON USING SPACE HEATERS PLEASE REMEMBER THEY CAN BE A
FIRE HAZARD...AND YOU SHOULD KEEP LINENS...BLANKETS...CURTAINS...
AND OTHER FLAMMABLES AWAY FROM THE HEATER AT ALL TIMES.

BELOW ARE SEVERAL TABLES LISTING EVERYTHING FROM THE RECORD LOW
MAXIMUMS FOR APRIL 7...TO THE RECORD LOWS FOR APRIL 8 AND 9...TO
THE ALL-TIME RECORD LOWS FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL...AND THE LATEST
DATE OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
