SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CELLS IN W TX CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
AND TRAIN NEWD OVER THE SAME COUNTIES..FROM THE MX BORDER INVOF VAL
VERDE/TERRELL TO RUNNELS/COKE/CONCHO COUNTIES. LOOKING AT WV IMAGERY
NOTICE 2 SHORTWAVES IN THE SRN STREAM..ONE COMING INTO MX AND THE OTHER
NEAR THE CONVECTION IN W TX. THE DOWNSTREAM WAVE CAUSED CELLS TO CHANGE
DIRECTION IN W TX..FROM AN EASTERLY DIRECTION BEFORE SHORTWAVE PASSAGE
TO A NORTHERLY MOVEMENT AFTER. LAST STLT IMAGE OR TWO NOTICED CIRRUS
BLOWOFF HAS NOW SHIFTED TO THE NE INSTEAD OF N AND CELLS NOW APPEAR TO BE
FOLLOWING ALONG THE SAME PATH. NEARLY 90 DEG SEPARATES UPPER LVL WINDS
INVOF W/CENTRAL TX PER GOES STLT WINDS. BELIEVE CELLS WILL CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP AND TRAIN INVOF DRT. LIGHTNING DATA/IR SHOWS COOLING CLOUD
TOPS/INCREASED LIGHTNING INVOF ESTIMATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS TO THE MX BORDER
IN VAL VERDE. ALSO THERE IS LIKELY AN OVERSHOOTING TOP JUST OVER THE MX
BORDER FROM VAL VERDE COUNTY DUE TO PRESENCE OF 1 PIXEL OF -73C CLOUD
TOP. ESTIMATE 2-3" POSSIBLE IN NEXT 3 HRS WITH CELLS TRAINING OVER THE
SAME AREAS. SEE GRAPHIC ON WEB PAGE FOR FURTHER INFO.
