Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible Valid 121800Z - 122200Z SUMMARY...Short-term tropical warm cloud rates up to 3"/hr across may result in localized rapid inundation flooding concerns for the next few hours. DISCUSSION...Regional RADAR mosaic depicts an outer confluent band at the far eastern periphery/influence of Francine continues to transport well above normal low to mid-level higher moisture values with total TPW over 2.5" with the bulk in the sfc-850mb layer at over 1-1.1" from the Space Coast toward the mouth of the St. Johns River. Through this layer and slightly higher remain solid with 20-25kts being generally confluent enough to support deep layer convergence. The mass piling combined with some filtered insolation/heating has supported modest instability (750-1250 J/kg MLCAPE) that is likely to slowly diminish with time. Mid-level flow starts to slack in 700-500mb short-wave ridging across eastern Florida which is supportive of reducing forward cell motions, but in the near term there is some northeastward tracking of 5-10kts that is effectively counteracting the offshore inflow/propagation vectors; establishing near zero for the cells to allow for the highly efficient/fluxed moisture and deep warm cloud processes to support up to 3"/hr rates.=20=20 As the warm conveyor belt convection/height-falls approach from the west, there will be a short-term enhancement in convergence/flux before reducing the on-shore flow increasing vertical shear and tilting limiting depth of stronger updrafts.=20 The onshore flow and frictional convergence may still allow for further development into the late afternoon, but tilting and weakening instability to support updraft strength will limit most intense downdrafts to less than 1-1.5"/hr and likely lower duration of said showers. Still spots of 3-4" still remain possible and may induce localized rapid inundation flooding especially in urban centers for the next few hours.
