EVENT...HVY RAINS FROM SLOW-MOVING CONVECTIVE CELLS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MOST RECENT GOES VIS IMAGERY SHOWS
CLUSTERS OF CONVECTIVE CELLS RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING INVOF HENDRY/PALM
BEACH/BROWARD/LEE COUNTIES.  IR INDICATES THAT CONVECTIVE CELLS ARE
WARM-TOPPED..CLOUD TOP TEMPS NEAR -42C..BUT WITH LOW EL UNDER -50C..MANUAL
STLT PRECIPITATION EST TECHNIQUE INDICATES RAINFALL OF 1.0-2.0"/HR.
MOVEMENT OF THESE CONVECTIVE CELLS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SLOW..PARTICULARLY
ALONG THE EAST COAST OF FL..NEAR KPBI/KFXE/KFLL.
.
CONVECTION MAY ALSO BE ENHANCED WITH AN APPARENT SEA-BREEZE FRONT ORIENTED
PARALLEL TO THE SHORELINE..WEST OF KFPR SOUTHWARD TO WEST OF KMIA PER
VIS IMAGERY AND SFC STLT DERIVED WINDS INDICATING ONSHORE FLOW.  BASED ON
HIGH PW VALUES PER GOES AND AMSU OF 1.8"..ENHANCED LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH
SEA-BREEZE FRONT AND LINGERING FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPPED OVER S FL..AND
SLOW CELL MOVEMENT RAIN FALL AMOUNTS MAY EXCEED 1-2" AS CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS.
