This reduces the vertical depth of moisture flux convergence and rainfall generation. However, nearer the coast; upstream increased deeper layer moisture (including increasing 700mb RH) is maintaining broader convective development within an East to West band north of Grand Bahama into the Cape. MLCAPE of 2000 J/kg are solid given the narrow skinny/moist profile with depth. Combining to the vertical ascent is entrance to the 30-40kt 3H jet streak along 30N east of 79W, is providing solid divergence aloft to help maintain the depth of rainfall production. Deep layer moisture of 2.25" and flux convergence given upstream winds of 25-30kts decelerating into the coast will allow for continued 2-3"/hr rates with a favorable back-building regenerative environment. Eventually, the forecast is for the outflow/jet entrance is to slide further east and reduce the divergence aloft; however, there is some trends in satellite loop/imagery that suggest the convection may be adding to/strengthening the jet in a narrow axis. If this were to occur, longer duration will increase overall localized totals of 3-5". Small southward wavering of the onshore axis is expected to help spread the heavy rainfall footprint. Given proximity to urban locations and sheer rate, localized rapid inundation/flash flooding is considered possible. A bit more uncertain, is how far downstream into the Central Peninsula this will extend. Each bout/updraft cycle will further moisten the low level environment and allow further downstream extension of the narrow heavy rainfall (E-W) corridor. Hi-Res CAMs continue to suggest a westward translating convergence wave lengthwise through the Peninsula, but current trends of upstream development suggests coastal training remains more likely for the greatest overall totals.
