SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WATER VAPOR BIG PICTURE SHOWED UPPER LOW
CONTINUING TO DROP SLOWLY SOUTH THRU C OK.  SHEAR AXIS HAS PENETRATED
SOUTH TO N TX AND WEAKENS FURTHER SOUTH INTO CENTRAL TX NEAR SJT/FWD/EWX
BORDER CWAS.  CURRENT N CENTRAL TX CONVECTION JUST EAST OF SHEAR AXIS
ON WESTERN EDGE OF DEEP MID/HIGH MOISTURE.  AT THE SAME TIME DEEP LOW
LEVEL PW MOISTURE HAS INCRD OVER THE AREA...ESPECIALLY FROM YESTERDAY
AND INSTABILITY AS PER GOES SOUNDER LI HOVERING ABOUT -6.
JOHNSON COUNTY IN THE MIDDLE OF ORGANIZATION AND COLDEST CLOUD TOPS OF
-63C FORMED FROM SOME MERGERS THAT HAVE TURNED INTO OVERSHOOTING TOPS
CAN SUPPORT 1-2 INCHES IN A 30-45 MINUTE TIME PERIOD ISOLATED AREAS.
THOUGH CELLS CAN MOVE SLOWLY NE...CU BANDS ORGANIZING A BIT TO THE SW
THAT COULD RESULT IN ADDIITONAL HVY RAIN CELLS...IF NOT FOR JOHNSON
SOMEWHERE IN THE CWA AREA.
AS MENTIONED FURTHER SOUTH SHEAR AXIS WEAKER...BUT ENOUGH MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR AXIS IS SHARPENING IN NW TEXAS...SO WILL HAVE
