South-southwesterly flow allowed for deep tropical moisture to stay in place across South Florida. This prevailing flow also allowed the Gulf sea breeze to progress further inland, pinning the Atlantic sea breeze to the coast, becoming the focus for afternoon showers and thunderstorm. As a mid-upper level shortwave rotated across the region aloft through the day, coverage of thunderstorms increased along the east coast and brought gusty winds and heavy rainfall that lead to flash flooding in Broward and Palm Beach.
