SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CLUSTER OF CELLS IN W CENTRAL TX STARTED
OUT WITH A RAIN BURST BETWEEN 0015Z AND 0045Z AND HAS SINCE THEN CONTINUED
TO BACKBUILD TO THE W. IN ADDITION NEW CELLS HAVE FORMED TO THE N ALONG
THE REMAINS OF THE FRNT AND WITH THEIR SEWD MOVEMENT HAVE STARTED TO MERGE
INTO THE NE PORTION OF THE CLUSTER. OVERSHOOTING TOPS PRESENT ON 0215Z IR
IMAGE ARE SEEN IN THE NE QUADRANT OF CROCKETT COUNTY..ONE NEAR THE REAGAN
COUNTY BORDER AND THE OTHER NEAR THE SCHLEICHER COUNTY BORDER. LOW LVL/SFC
WINDS ARE TO THE W WHICH HAS ALLOWED THE CELLS TO STAY NEARLY STATIONARY
AND BACKBUILD. UPPER LVL STLT WINDS SHOW VERY SHARP CURVATURE TWDS THE
E OVER W CENTRAL TX ON THE SW SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW. AUTOESTIMATED RATES
OF 1.3-1.5" OVER HR ENDING 0202Z ARE PRESENT OVER NE CROCKETT COUNTY AND
ALONG THE NRN CROCKETT COUNTY BORDER INTO SRN REAGAN/IRION COUNTIES..AND
THESE COULD EVEN BE SLIGHTLY UNDERDONE SINCE CELLS HAVE REMAINED OVER
THE SAME AREAS. BELIEVE BACKBUILDING OF CELLS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FOR
NEXT 2-3 HRS AT LEAST WITH VERY HVY RAINS OCCURRING AND SLOWLY SPREADING
EWD. CELLS MERGING IN FROM THE N WILL ALSO TOM GREEN/CONCHO COUNTIES
OVER NEXT 1-2 HRS. SEE WEBPAGE FOR ESTIMATES. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
