Abstract Computations of peninsula-scale convergence in southern Florida reveal that daily-averaged surface convergence on sea-breeze days with relatively little rainfall is larger than on days with widespread rain. This negative correlation between surface convergence and area-averaged rainfall occurs as a result of significantly less surface convergence in the late afternoon and early evening on those days with considerable rainfall. The decrease in sea-breeze convergence during the late afternoon of the days with extensive rainfall is apparently a consequence of the downdrafts and thunderstorm-generated circus cloud cover produced by the deep convection that forms in the sea-breeze convergence zones. Before the typical midafternoon maximum of deep convection on sea-breeze days, there is no significant difference between the surface convergence averaged for days with widespread rain and for days with little rain. Important differences are observed, however, in the middle troposphere, where the sea-breez...
