SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RICH MOISTURE IS ALREADY IN PLACE OVER S
TX WITH 2" PWS POOLED FROM AUS S TO CRP AND W TO THE RIO GRANDE. CONTOUR
OF DWPTS SHOWS AXIS OF MOISTURE EXTENDING NWD FROM THE S TX COAST TO
CENTRAL TX. PLOT OF STLT WINDS REVEALS FAIRLY STRONG UPPER LVL DVG OVER
S TX AND LIs FROM GOES SOUNDER HAVE STARTED TO GET DOWN IN THE -5/-6
RANGE. SFC WINDS ARE GENERALLY WEAK THOUGH CU FIELDS ARE SEEN ON VIS
IMAGERY MOVING NWWD INTO THE INFLOW OF THE CLUSTER THAT STRETCHES FROM
VAL VERDE CO TO FRIO/MEDINA CO. THIS CLUSTER HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND
WITH NEW CELLS BEING ADDED ONTO THE NWRN END THOUGH IT HAS WEAKENED
SINCE FORMING. AUTOMATED ESTIMATES SHOW A MAX OF 1.7" FROM THIS CLUSTER
OVER NE KINNEY THOUGH THIS MAY BE SLIGHTLY LOW AND HVY RAINS ALSO IN
S EDWARDS/UVALDE COUNTIES. CLUSTER SHOULD CONTINUE MOVING SWWD BUT MAY
ENHANCE AGAIN ALONG THE RIO GRANDE AS A SMALL BNDRY SEEN ON VIS IMAGERY
S OF DRT IS MOVING NWD FROM MX.
.
AM MORE CONCERNED FOR THE ERN PART OF S TX EVEN THOUGH FFG IS SOMEWHAT
HIGHER AS OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS INDICATES BEST MOISTURE CNVG TO BE OVER
THIS AREA. SEA BREEZE MOVING WNW INTO S TX ALONG WITH TWO OTHER OUTFLOW
BNDRYS THAT ALREADY HAVE STRONG CELLS ASSCD WITH THEM WILL LIKELY
INTERACT. SLIGHT ROTATION IS SEEN PER VIS IMAGERY JUST S OF SKF AND
COULD PROVIDE ENOUGH FORCING FOR THESE CELLS TO MERGE WITH THE CLUSTER
MENTIONED ABOVE. EXPECT HEAVIEST RAINS IN NEXT 1-2 HRS TO BE INVOF VCT
AND THE SURROUNDING COUNTIES AS WELL AS N OF CRP TO THE SKF AREA. WITH
SO MANY AREAS OF MERGING CELLS..RICH MOISTURE..AND MOD STRONG UPPER LVL
DVG OVER THE AREA..RAINFALL RATES OF 2-3"/HR APPEAR POSSIBLE. WILL BE
SENDING A GRAPHIC TO THE WEB ADDRESS BELOW IN ABOUT 10 MIN.
