.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON STRONG
TO AT TIMES SEVERE TSTMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND MOVING SEWD ACROSS
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FL.  LATEST IR AND VIS IMAGERY SHOW THE STRONGEST
CELLS LOCATED ALONG THE COASTLINES OF PALM BEACH..BROWARD..MIAMI
DADE COUNTIES.  SFC OBS AND VIS INDICATE A PERSISTANT NW-SE ORIENTED
SEA-BREEZE FRONT..PARALLEL TO THE E COASTLINE OF FL..AND APPEARS TO BE
HELPING TO INTENSIFY THESE STORMS ALONG THE SHORELINE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
LIFT AND SFC CONVERGENCE.  IN THE PAST HOUR THE COLDEST CLOUD TOPS HAVE
BEGUN TO MOVE OFFSHORE..HOWEVER VIS ANIMATION SHOWS ADDITIONAL WARM TOP
REGENERATION IS OCCURRING AND LINGERING ALONG THE IMMEDIATE SHORELINE
AREAS IN THESE THREE COUNTIES.  WITH ONSHORE, EASTERLY FLOW AT LOW-LVLS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEA BREEZE AND CURRENT STLT TREND OF BACK-BUILDING
OF WARM TOP CONVECTION..CURRENT THINKING IS THAT HVY RAINS WILL PERSIST
IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS WITH THE POTENTIAL
OF PRODUCING 1-2" OF NEW RAINFALL AMOUNTS.
