SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...FRONTAL ZONE ACROSS DISCUSSED AREA
HAS ACTED AS A GOOD MOISTURE POOL WITH PWS IN EXCESS OF 2.0" ALONG
THE LENGTH AS WELL AS A GOOD FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT WHICH HAS BEEN VERY
COLD TO -75C BUT SLOWLY PROGRESSES SW SO THAT THE VERY HIGH RATES HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMAIN TOO STATIONARY FOR VERY HIGH TOTALS...THOUGH
AUTOMATED TECHNIQUES ARE SHOW 1.5" ONE HOUR TOTALS ALONG THE LINE FROM
JASPER TO TANEY OVER THE HOUR ENDED AT 2230Z.  HOWEVER... THE OUTFLOW
FROM THE CELLS HAS PROGRESS SWWARD ENOUGH TO GET OUT INTO AREAS WITH
CONTINUED SOLAR RADIATION INCREASING INSTABILITY THAT WAS EASILY POPPED
WITH THE ENHANCED SFC CONVERGENCE.  THESE OVER MCDONALD MO, N BENTON
AR, SE CARROLL AR ARE DEVELOPING WELL WITH THE MAIN CELLS CONTINUING
TO SURGE TOWARD THEM.  THESE OUTFLOW CELLS ARE REMAINING RELATIVELY
STATIONARY PRODUCING HVY RAIN WITH RATES OF 1.5-2.0"/HR...AND WHEN THE
MERGERS WITH THE MAIN CELLS OCCURS TOTALS COULD RANGE FROM 2-3" WITH
EVEN HIGHER AMOUNTS IF THE MAIN CELLS SLOW UP IN RESPONSE TO THE MERGING.
