SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES FOR THE
PAST 3 HOURS ARE AROUND 5" ACROSS N BURNET COUNTY OF CENTRAL TEXAS. RADAR
COMPOSITE AND IR SATELLITE LOOPS ARE SHOWING MORE ACTIVITY FORMING TO
THE WEST OF INITIAL BURNET COUNTY CELL POSSIBLY DUE TO SOME INTERACTION
BETWEEN IT AND OUTFLOW FROM THE COMPLEX MOVING RAPIDLY BY TO THE SOUTH
OVER S CENT TX. THE 0515Z GOES IMAGE NOW SHOWS EVEN MORE ENHANCEMENT TO
THESE NEWLY FORMING CELLS AND ALSO SHOWS ELONGATION TO THE COLD TOPS
STRETCHED ALONG THE LAMPASAS/BURNET BORDER REGION. SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS
WEAK BUT DEFINITE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF THE CONVECTION. WATER VAPOR LOOP ALONG WITH GOES HIGH DENSITY WIND
VECTOR PLOT INDICATES ACTIVITY IS IN REGION OF UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE. AT
THIS TIME BELIEVE THIS IS EXHIBITING SIGNS OF TURNING INTO A RATHER
LOCALIZED BUT SIGNIFICANT HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT WITH THE INITIAL FOCUS
ON N BURNET/LAMPASAS COUNTIES.
