SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...STORMS PRODUCING HVY RAINFALL ALONG THE
DRYLINE IN W TX HAVE BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY WITH LITTLE PROGRESSION OF
THE LINE OF TORRENTIAL RAINS. NEWLY FORMED CELLS ON THE SRN END OF THE
LINE APPEAR TO BE STARVING OUT CELLS FARTHER TO THE NE AS THEY SAP UP
THE MOISTURE. PW VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.4" AT DRT AS OF 00Z SHOW HOW VERY
MOIST THE ENVIRONMENT IS THOUGH AND HOW EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES MUST
BE. DO NOT FORESEE MUCH MOVEMENT OF DRYLINE AND THUS HVY RAINS AS WV
IMAGERY DOES NOT SHOW UPPER LOW IN CO PROGRESSING AT ALL FOR THE LAST 12
HRS OR SO AND TROF IS STILL SINKING SWD. HAVE ALREADY SEEN BACKBUILDING
CELLS ONCE TONIGHT AND COULD BE A CONTINUING PROBLEM. LIKELY IF IT DOES
CONTINUE..CELLS WILL BE INVOF E BREWSTER/TERRELL COUNTIES IN NEXT 2-4
HRS. ESTIMATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE PAST HR ENDING 0345Z ALONG THE
LINE FROM E PECOS TO REAGAN COUNTIES TO BE 1.75-2.5". WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR.
