EVENT...WEAKENING OF CONVECTION...HOWEVER THREAT OF TRAINING STILL EXISTS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR IMAGERY HAS SHOWN GENERAL WARMING OF
TOPS WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE AND THE NUMBER OF OVERSHOOTING TOPS HAS
DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...HOWEVER AREA COLDER
TOPS DOES REMAIN ON THE SRN EDGE OF THE LINE NEAR TAMPA BAY AND OFFSHORE
TO THE SOUTH.  OVER THE PAST 3 HOURS...ESTIAMTING THAT SOME AREAS INVOF
ALACHUA/CITRUS/MARION COUNTIES HAVE SEEN GENERAL 1.0"-2.0" WITH SOME
LOCALIZED AREAS SEEING HIGHER TOTALS NEAR 2.5" GIVEN OVERSHOOTING TOPS
AND TRAINING THAT OCCURRED PLUS PW VALUES NEAR 1.5" PER GOES SOUNDER.
EVEN WITH WEAKENING OF CONVECTION...THE SATURATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE
AND CONTINUED TRAINING OF ANY CONVECTIVE CELLS THAT DEVELOP COULD STILL
PRODUCE .5"-1.25" IN AREAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED.

EXPECTING AREAS TO THE SOUTH NEAR TAMPA BAY AND EVEN FURTHER TO THE SOUTH
NEAR SARASOTA COUNTY TO SEE SIMILAR TOTALS...HOWEVER THEY COULD SEE MORE
INTENSE RATES OF 1.0"-2.0"/HR AS CONVECTION IS MORE VIGOROUS WITH COLDER
AND OVERSHOOTING TOPS ARE STILL PRESENT AND MOISTURE IS STILL AVAILABLE.
