EVENT...TRAINING OF TSTMS PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST GOES VIS ANIMATION SHOWS A
NEARLY W-E ORIENTED LINE OF TSTMS TRAVELING NEARLY DUE EAST ACROSS
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FL.  THE MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS MATCHES VERY
WELL TO PERSISTENT WESTERLY WINDS BETWEEN 850MB AND 500MB PER ANALYSIS
OF STLT DERIVED WINDS.  INTENSITY OF THESE STORMS IS MUCH MORE EVIDENT
IN VIS THAN IR..WITH MULTIPLE OVERSHOOTING TOPS BEING OBSERVED OVER
THE PAST HOUR.  1-HR HYDROESTIMATOR ENDING AT 2130Z INDICATES TWO MAX
AREAS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL..ONE OVER E PALM BEACH..THE OTHER INVOF
OF NE COLLIER COUNTY.  AMOUNTS FROM THE ESTIMATOR APPEAR TO BE A BIT
LOW..AROUND 0.5" IN THE LAST HOUR FOR BOTH AREAS GIVEN THE NATURE OF THESE
CELLS TRAINING.  PW VALUES ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO AND ALONG
THE W COAST OF FL REMAIN HIGH..BETWEEN 1.6-1.7" PER AMSU PASS AT 1819Z.
WITH ADDITIONAL CONVECTION FURTHER UPSTREAM OF THE ONGOING CONVECTION
IMPACTING S FL..MID-LVL FLOW CONTINUING TO BE NEARLY DUE EAST..AND
GOOD AMOUNT OF MOISTURE..EXPECTING HVY RAINFALL TO CONTINUE OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS AS TRAINING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE FOLLOWING
COUNTIES..COLLIER..HENDRY..PALM BEACH..NORTHERN BROWARD COUNTIES.
