SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...ALTHOUGH CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES HAVE
MOSTLY WARMED WITH CURRENT CONVECTION FROM BREWSTER TO SOUTHERN CRANE
AND UPTON COUNTIES, THERE ARE STILL SOME AREAS OF RATHER SIGNIFICANT
CONVECTION MOSTLY CENTERED OVER PECOS COUNTY.  0632Z IR IMAGE JUST
IN AND IT SHOWS SEVERAL OVERSHOOTING TOPS OVER PECOS COUNTY WITH ONE
LOCATED ABOUT 10 MILES SE OF FST AND ANOTHER ABOUT 35 MILES SOUTH OF FST.
BEST HEIGHT FALLS HAVE MOSTLY BEEN LIFTING NORTH OF THE AREA AND THIS HAS
ALLOWED FOR VERY SLOW MOVEMENT TO THE LINE OF CONVECTION.  THE COMBINATION
OF THE DEEP MOISTURE IN PLACE (GOES PRECIPITABLE WATERS 1.40-1.60") ALONG
WITH THE TENDENCY FOR CONVECTION TO TRAIN SHOULD ALLOW FOR LOCAL RAINFALL
RATES OF OVER 1.0"/HR IN THE MOST INTENSE CORES (SUCH AS THE CELL JUST
SE OF FST).  6HR AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES ENDING AT 0545Z SHOWS
A STRIPE OF 1-3" RAINFALL FROM W BREWSTER THROUGH CNTRL PECOS COUNTY.
BELIEVE LOCAL TOTALS OF 1-2" ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH
THOSE TOTALS MOST LIKELY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF PECOS COUNTY NEAR THE
MORE INTENSE CELLS MENTIONED ABOVE.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
