SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CELL MERGERS ARE OCCURRING ATTM IN N TX
AS BOW ECHO MERGES IN WITH CELL CLUSTERS W/NW OF DAL/FTW AREA. VERY HVY
RAINS ARE OCCURRING FROM PALO PINTO/ERATH COUNTY TO DENTON COUNTY AND
WILL CONTINUE FILLING IN TO THE SE AS THE LINE PUSHES AHEAD. IR SHOWS
QUICKLY COOLING CLOUD TOPS OVER PALO PINTO/N ERATH/SE STEPHENS AS ONE OF
THE FIRST MERGERS HAS JUST OCCURRED HERE IN PAST 30-40 MIN. ESTIMATE THAT
2-2.5" HAS OCCURRED IN THAT TIME PERIOD ALONG PALO PINTO/ERATH BORDER INTO
STEPHENS COUNTY. SLOW MOVING CELLS ALONG TAIL END OF LINE ARE ALSO CAUSING
PROBLEMS IN STEPHENS COUNTY AND BACK INTO SHACKELFORD AS THEY SLOWLY DRIFT
SWD. MERGER MENTIONED ABOVE SHOULD BRIEFLY STALL THE SEWD MOVEMENT OF THE
REST OF THE LINE AND HENCE THE SWD MOVEMENT OF THE TAIL END CELLS AS WELL.
.
TO THE E..MOD/HVY RAINS ALSO CONTINUE OVER THE DAL AREA BUT CLUSTER
DOES APPEAR TO BE LOSING SOME OF ITS STRENGTH PER WARMING CLOUD
TOPS. VIS/RADAR TRENDS DO SHOW CELLS BUILDING SWWD FROM BRYAN COUNTY/OK
INTO FANNIN/GRAYSON COUNTIES TWDS NEWD MOVING CELLS THAT MAY CAUSE SOME
PROBLEMS. HYDROESTIMATOR ALREADY SHOWS RAINFALL RATES OF 1-1.5"/HR WITH
THE CURVED LINE OF CELLS NE OF DAL AND ANY MERGERS WILL ONLY ENHANCE
THESE RATES.
