Hourly rain totals to 2.5" with local amounts to 5" could cause issues, particularly in urban centers. Discussion...Showers and thunderstorms are beginning to develop in the vicinity of a front across the southern peninsula, to the southwest of a developing low pressure area offshore Cape Canaveral. Despite the boundary's location, moisture is plentiful on both sides. Precipitable water values are near 1.8" per the MFL/Sweetwater FL sounding. Low-level inflow is weak but cyclonic. Effective bulk shear, however, is near 25 kts and ML CAPE is 2000+ J/kg per SPC mesoanalyses. With the flow more westerly than usual, any sea breeze fronts are likely to converge near the analyzed frontal position near the Gold Coast. The front's reflection at 850 hPa will also be drifting from west to east across the peninsula with time.=20 Daytime heating should allow ML CAPE to rise another 1000-1500 J/kg more, which could lead to instantaneous rain rates which become quite high. The available ingredients suggest that hourly rain totals to 2.5" and local amounts to 5" are expected, which along with higher instantaneous rates would be more of a problem in urban areas. With rainfall this past week ranging between 300-600% of average across the peninsula, there may be greater sensitivity than usual in areas that are not wetlands/swamps.
