.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LINE OF STORMS MOVING SLOWLY EWD THROUGH
E/CENTRAL TX AND ORIENTED SW-NE HAS JUST MERGED WITH TWO SMALL WARM TOP
CELLS INVOF POLK/TRINITY COUNTY. ESTIMATES FROM HYDROESTIMATOR IN PAST
30 MIN SHOWED RAIN RATES OF 1.5-2"/HR ALONG MOST OF THIS LINE. THOUGH
SINCE MERGER HAS OCCURRED..CLOUD TOPS HAVE WARMED SOMEWHAT AS SOLAR
HEATING DECREASES. OVERSHOOTING TOP IS SEEN IN FAR W TRINITY COUNTY
PER VIS IMAGERY. ALSO NOTICE THAT LINE CONTINUES TO BUILD TO THE SW
ALONG ITS OWN OUTFLOW BNDRY BUT DO NOT EXPECT THAT THIS WILL LAST MUCH
LONGER AFTER SUNSET. THERE IS POSSIBILITY FOR ANOTHER MERGER AS THE
OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM THE COLLAPSING CELL IN SW LA SEEN ON VIS IMAGERY IS
ADVANCING TWDS THE LINE IN E/CENTRAL TX AND POPPING UP A FEW ADDITIONAL
CELLS ALONG THE WAY. IF NOTHING ELSE..THIS OUTFLOW BNDRY WILL TEMPORARILY
HELP THE LINE FLARE BACK UP/STRENGTHEN AND COULD CAUSE IT TO STALL OVER
ANGELINA/POLK/TRINITY/NW TYLER COUNTIES FOR A BIT LONGER. WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR. SEE WEBPAGE FOR GRAPHIC.
