SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RECENT IR IMAGES HAVE SHOWN A SMALL BUT
VERY PERSISTENT BATCH OF CELLS OVER N TRAVIS/WILLIAMSON COUNTIES OF CENT
TX WHICH HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT IN THE PAST HOUR. IR ENHANCEMENT
HAS SHOWN SOME COOLING OF TOPS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD WHICH LEADS TO
ESTIMATED RATES IN THE 1.5"-2.5"/HR RANGE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR SIMILAR
AMOUNTS OVER THAT TIME GIVEN THE VERY SLOW MOVEMENT. OBVIOUSLY GIVEN THE
SATURATED GROUNDS OVER CENT TX AND ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THIS ACTIVITY
IS NOT THAT FAR FROM THE SPOT OF THE INCREDIBLE RAINS LAST NIGHT, WILL BE
PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS AREA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS IR
IMAGERY AND RADAR COMPOSITE LOOP SHOW THE APPROACH OF A BROKEN LINE OF
CONVECTION FROM THE NW. CURRENTLY THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS BROKEN LINE
EXTENDS FROM AROUND TOM GREEN COUNTY TO COMMANCHE/MILLS COUNTIES. THERE
IS SOME POSSIBILITY THAT AS THE LINE FROM THE NW APPROACHES, THE SPOTTY
ACTIVITY TO ITS EAST WILL CONTINUE TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY,
PERHAPS BECOMING THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND
THE PERSISTENT SOUTHERN PLAINS UPPER LOW.
