    Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 1160
    NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
    810 AM EDT Mon Oct 06 2025

    Areas affected...portions of Palm Beach & Broward Counties in FL

    Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

    Valid 061209Z - 061809Z

    Summary...Occasional convective bands could continue to set up in
    and near the Gold Coast of FL, possibly into early this afternoon.
    Hourly amounts to 2" with local totals to 4" could lead to
    isolated occurences of flash flooding.

    Discussion...An upper level disturbance across North FL combined
    with precipitable water values ~2.25", 2000+ J/kg of ML CAPE, and
    effective bulk shear of 20kt or so has led to the development and
    fading of a couple convective bands across east-central Palm Beach
    and northeast Broward Counties, downwind of the northwest Bahamas
    and within an area of low-level convergence near a stationary
    front. A more active convective band lies offshore Broward County
    at the time of this discussion's writing. Hourly rain estimates
    have approached 2" with the Palm Beach county band and above 1"
    near Deerfield Beach.

    The expectation is for convective bands to occasionally shift
    south/reorganize in different locations with time, primarily
    across Broward County, though additional activity in southeast
    Palm Beach County can't be ruled out. The mesoscale guidance (via
    the HREF and REFS probabilities) indicate the threat of heavy
    rainfall in and near the Gold Coast perhaps as late as 18z with
    some possible southward shift/reorganization which seems to follow
    a slight southward nudge of the highest moisture in the region.
    Until the bands dissipate or become less organized at some point
    this afternoon, hourly amounts to 2" with local totals to 4" could
    lead to flash flooding in urban areas.
