Concerns for urban flash flooding will exist near and south of the Miami metropolitan area. DISCUSSION...GOES-E Proxy Visible satellite imagery along with radar data shows some concentrated areas of very heavy showers and thunderstorms continuing to impact portions of southeast FL. Much of the activity is currently situated near and south of Miami with some relatively organized banding of convection that is well-aligned with the very moist/unstable low-level easterly flow impacting the FL Peninsula. Satellite and surface data also show signs of a weak low-level vort center near Biscayne Bay which is helping to concentrate an axis of strong moisture convergence into the coastal areas in between Miami and Homestead. MLCAPE values of near 1000 J/kg are in place, with PWs of 1.8 to 2.0 inches. Some cell-training concerns will exist over the next few hours with the convective activity impacting southeast FL, and especially with a persistently convergent low-level Atlantic fetch into the region. Rainfall rates have already been reaching as high 2 to 3 inches/hour, and with any persistence of these stronger convective cores, there may be some rainfall totals that locally approach or exceed 5 inches. This is supported by some of the 00Z HREF guidance. Expect there to be at least some concerns for urban flash flooding with these heavier rainfall rates and storm totals set up over the next few hours.
