A nearly stationary front began to move slowly northward across South Florida on April 12th, focusing deep moisture over the region. An mid to upper level low pressure over the NW Gulf of Mexico and an upper level jet stream over the eastern Gulf of Mexico contributed to providing the necessary atmospheric forcing for areas of persistent heavy rain and strong thunderstorms across most of SE Florida.
