LOCATION...SOUTHWEST TEXAS...

EVENT...POTENTIAL MERGER
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VIS IMAGERY SHOWS TWO CELLS OVER
BREWSTER/JEFF DAVIS COUNTIES THAT LOOK TO MERGE TOGETHER SOON.  IF THE
MERGER HAPPENS..SOME LOCATIONS UNDER THE MERGER COULD SEE BRIEF RAIN
RATES UP TO 1.5"/HR.  ESTIMATING THAT THE CELL AREAS HAVE SEEN UP TO
1.0" SO FAR GIVEN SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE CELLS THUS FAR.  ALSO SEEING A
WARMER-TOP BUT NEARLY STATIONARY CELL OVER CNTRL PRESIDIO COUNTY WHICH
MAY HAVE PRODUCED .5"-1.0" OF RAIN THUS FAR IN SOME LOCATIONS.

ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE SWD DEVELOPMENT OF THESE CELLS AS THEY COME CLOSE
TO THE CELL OVER CNTRL PRESIDIO AND A MERGER THAT COULD OCCUR INVOF NE
PRESIDIO COUNTY IF THE CELL DEVELOPMENTS CONTINUE.

SEEING A WELL DEFINED VORT OVER PECOS COUNTY WHICH COULD PRODUCE CELLS
WITH BRIEF RAIN RATES UP TO 1.25"/HR GIVEN SLIGHTLY HIGHER PW VALUES
INVOF THE VORT AND THE SLOW MOVING NATURE LIKELY TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
CELLS AS PROFILER DATA SHOWING VERY LITTLE STEERING WINDS IN THAT AREA.
