Discussion...As expected, a slight backing in low-level/850mb flow has occurred across the Big Bend/Apalachee Bay area recently, with more of a southwesterly orientation to the flow at around 20-30 knots. This has allowed for the focus of heavier convection to shift inland, and there are already subtle signs that strong instability located offshore has begun to slowly shift inland.=20 Modifying point forecast soundings to account for the 6-8F jump in surface temp at AAF yields potentially 4000+ J/kg SBCAPE and 2+ inch PW values with very little inhibition, supporting continued thunderstorm development. Radar mosaic imagery indicates a band of convection that now extends from near CTY to FPY west-southwestward to the Mississippi Delta. With steering flow aloft favoring movement of convection from the north-central Gulf into the discussion area, the expectation is that occasional areas of heavy rain (with rates ranging from 1-3 inches/hr) will continue across northern Florida and the Panhandle for at least another 6 hours (probably longer). This notion is supported by recent CAMs (HREF, HRRR, Nam3), which depicts convective potential persisting perhaps through 18Z. These continued rain rates may cause issues with excessive runoff and flash flooding - especially in urbanized and/or hydrophobic surfaces. One potential drawback for a more widespread flash flood threat is that while rainfall should persist through the morning hours, CAMs do indicate a more broken and less-focused band of convection that could allow for brief breaks between heavier rainfall. Flash flooding remains possible in this scenario.
