EVENT...COLD TOP CELLS ALONG NC COAST
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SW-NE ORIENTED LINE OF CELLS ALONG THE
FRNT HAS BEEN NEARLY STNRY SINCE DEVELOPING. 3 HR AUTOMATED ESTIMATES
ENDING 1915Z LOOK FAIRLY GOOD FOR THIS EVENT AND ARE ESTIMATING A WIDE
AREA OF 1-2" AMOUNTS WITH SCATTERED AREAS OF OVER 2" MOSTLY ON THE NRN
END AND A MAX OF 2.8" NEAR E PAMLICO/E BEUAFORT COUNTIES. SRN PART OF
LINE IS NOW STARTING TO MOVE OFFSHORE WITH ITS OUTFLOW BNDRY SEEN ALREADY
OFFSHORE PER VIS IMAGERY. NRN PART OF LINE IS NOT MOVING OFFSHORE THOUGH
AND A WNW MOVING OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM A CLUSTER OF STORMS OFF THE COAST IS
HEADED INLAND WHICH MAY ENHANCE THE NRN END OF THE LINE. TO THE NE OF
THE STATE..ANOTHER LONG CLUSTER OF CELLS IS BEGINNING TO BACKBUILD SWD
TWDS THE CLUSTER ALONG COASTAL NC. THIS MAY BUILD INTO THE OTHER CLUSTER
CAUSING ADDITIONAL HVY RAINS ALONG THE COAST...PARTICULARLY OVER THE
OUTER BANKS. PW VALUES ARE AROUND 2" JUST AHEAD OF THE FRNT AND OBJECTIVE
ANALYSIS SHOWS MOD MOISTURE CNVG IVNOF KMQI SO HAVE REASON TO THINK THAT
HVY RAINS COULD CONTINUE. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR ESTIMATES AND GRAPHIC.
