Upper-level troughing remained prominent across the Gulf of Mexico with a speed max extending east-northeast from the Bay of Campeche into the northwest Caribbean Sea. A decaying Mesoscale Convective Vortex (MCV) was lifting north through the Atlantic waters while surface troughing extended from the southern Florida Peninsula southwest into the southern Gulf of Mexico. Given the diffluent pattern aloft, subtle vorticity perturbations, the remnant MCV, and the surface trough, plentiful sources for lift were evident across South Florida that allowed for the development of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. Additionally, plenty of moisture was distributed areawide with rainfall rates exceeding 2 inches per hour. Abundant moisture along with preceding heavy rainfall and antecedent conditions led to widespread flooding across Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Furthermore, increasing low-level shear behind the MCV whipped up a brief tornado in Miami-Dade County and a funnel cloud in Broward County.
