A classic heavy rainfall scenario set up along the NE Florida Atlantic Coast where a stationary surface front meandered in the lower levels with strong onshore flow on the northern side of the boundary. Aloft deep layer SW flow and strong upper level divergence within the right-rear quadrant of a strong upper level jet enhanced deep layer lift over the stationary front. Strong low level convergence, high moisture, and the upper level support produced prolonged heavy rainfall.
