DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows clusters of heavy shower and thunderstorm activity impacting portions of the Big Bend of FL in conjunction with confluent and very moist/unstable flow advancing northeast in off the northeast Gulf of Mexico. The flow aloft is also rather divergent given advance of a shortwave impulse rounding the base of the mid-level closed low/trough over the TN Valley/Mid-South region. There is a modest low-level jet of 20 to 30 kts in place over the northeast Gulf of Mexico that is helping to transport as much as 1500 to 2500 J/kg of MLCAPE into the region. And this coupled with deep tropical moisture characterized by 2+ inch PWs and the aforementioned shortwave dynamics should maintain clusters of convection over at least the next few hours. A weakening trend of the activity is expected though toward mid-morning as the stronger forcing begins to pull away from the region. Regardless, given the favorable thermodynamic environment in the short-term, expect convection to be capable of producing 2 to 3 inch/hour rainfall rates with the stronger cells. The relatively slow cell-motions with these rates may result in some rainfall totals of as much as 3 to 5 inches over the next few hours. Given the moist antecedent conditions from heavy rainfall over the last week, these rains early this morning may result in at least some isolated instances of flash flooding.
