INFORMATION STATEMENT<BR>NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN
FL<BR>500 AM EDT SUN APR 5 2009<BR><BR>...MUCH COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER FOR
MIDWEEK...<BR><BR>AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF WARM WEATHER A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE<BR>ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY BRINGING CLOUDS AND SOME RAIN TO THE<BR>REGION.
BEHIND THIS FRONT BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL USHER IN<BR>MUCH COOLER AND DRIER
AIR. AS THIS COLD AIR MOVES ACROSS THE<BR>RELATIVELY WARM GULF OF MEXICO WATERS
THE LARGE DIFFERENCE IN<BR>TEMPERATURE.<WBR>..NEARLY 40 DEGREES
FAHRENHEIT..<WBR>.WILL LEAD TO WHAT<BR>COULD BE CALLED GULF EFFECT. THIS IS
SIMILAR TO THE LAKE EFFECT<BR>THAT OCCURS AROUND THE GREAT LAKES WHERE COLD AIR
MOVES ACROSS THE<BR>WARMER LAKES RESULTING IN CLOUDS AND BANDS OF SNOW.
HOWEVER...<BR>UNLIKE THE GREAT LAKES...TEMPERATURE<WBR>S WILL NOT BE COLD ENOUGH
FOR<BR>SNOW...BUT WE COULD SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES MOVE IN<BR>OFF
THE GULF.<BR><BR>TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL BE 10 TO AS MUCH AS 20 DEGREES
BELOW<BR>NORMAL AND ONLY CLIMB INTO THE 60S, EXCEPT LOWER 70S OVER
SOUTHWEST<BR>FLORIDA. TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING IS EXPECTED TO
BE<BR>THE COLDEST WITH TEMPERATURES PREDICTED TO FALL INTO THE 30S
ACROSS<BR>MOST OF THE NATURE COAST WITH SOME OF THE NORMALLY COLDER
INLAND<BR>LOCATIONS DROPPING TO NEAR FREEZING. FURTHER SOUTH MOST
INLAND<BR>LOCATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA ARE EXPECTED TO
FALL<BR>INTO THE 40S WITH A FEW LOCATIONS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 30S.<BR>THESE
TEMPERATURES COULD APPROACH RECORD LOW VALUES IN A FEW<BR>LOCATIONS...<WBR>BUT
NO MATTER IT WILL FEEL EVEN COLDER THANKS TO THE<BR>BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS THAT
WILL CAUSE WIND CHILL VALUES TO DROP<BR>INTO THE 20S AND 30S.<BR><BR>DURING
WEDNESDAY HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE GULF OF<BR>MEXICO WITH WINDS
DIMINISHING AND TEMPERATURES WARMING UP INTO THE<BR>MID 60S TO MID 70S...BUT
STILL ABOUT 8 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.<BR><BR>DURING WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE HIGH
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FLORIDA<BR>PENINSULA AND OUT INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
OCEAN. THIS WILL<BR>ALLOW WINDS TO BECOME LIGHT UNDER MAINLY CLEAR SKIES SETTING
US UP<BR>FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO<BR>THURSDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER<BR>40S
ACROSS MUCH OF THE NATURE COAST WITH MID TO UPPER 40S<BR>STRETCHING SOUTHWARD
INTO INLAND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.<BR><BR>RESIDENTS OF WEST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA...ESPECIALL<WBR>Y THOSE<BR>ACROSS THE NATURE COAST...SHOULD BE
PREPARED TO PROTECT TENDER<BR>VEGETATION AND PETS TUESDAY NIGHT. PROLONGED
TEMPERATURES IN THE<BR>30S MAY DAMAGE SENSITIVE VEGETATION..<WBR>.AND CAN BE
HARMFUL TO PETS.<BR>IN ADDITION...IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUTDOORS LATE EACH NIGHT
INTO<BR>THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BE SURE TO BUNDLE UP AND DRESS IN LAYERS.<BR>IF
YOU PLAN ON USING SPACE HEATERS PLEASE REMEMBER THEY CAN BE A<BR>FIRE
HAZARD...AND YOU SHOULD KEEP LINENS...BLANKETS.<WBR>..CURTAINS.<WBR>..<BR>AND
OTHER FLAMMABLES AWAY FROM THE HEATER AT ALL TIMES.<BR><BR>BELOW ARE SEVERAL
TABLES LISTING EVERYTHING FROM THE RECORD LOW<BR>MAXIMUMS FOR APRIL 7...TO THE
RECORD LOWS FOR APRIL 8 AND 9...TO<BR>THE ALL-TIME RECORD LOWS FOR THE MONTH OF
