EVENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH MULTI-CELLUAR CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE MERGERS APPEAR TO BE
TAKING PLACE OVER DISCUSSION AREA FUELED IN LARGE PART BY A NORTHWESTWARD
MOVING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT WAS MOST RECENTLY ANALYZED ARCING FROM BAD
TO PBF.  OVER THE LAST 30-60 MINUTES MOST IMPRESSIVE CONVECTIVE MERGERS
APPEARED TO OCCUR TO THE WNW OF ELD.  OVERSHOOTING TOPS ASSOCIATED WITH
THESE FEATURES WOULD SUGGEST RAINFALL RATES IN EXCESS OF 2.0"/HR ARE
POSSIBLE WITH THE MOST INTENSE CORES.  OVER THE NEXT 15-30 MINUTES IT
APPEARS AS THOUGH AN IMPENDING CONVECTIVE MERGER WILL TAKE PLACE ABOUT
25 MILES WEST OF PBF.  SIMILAR TO THE CONVECTIVE CORES WNW OF ELD,
WOULD EXPECT THAT LOCAL RAINFALL RATES OF 2.0"/HR ARE POSSIBLE IN THIS
AREA AS WELL.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
