SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST IR IMAGERY TO 1845Z SHOWS CLOUD
TOPS COOLING AND SLIDING NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL TEXAS COAST,
ESPECIALLY MATAGORDA AND CALHOUN COUNTIES AND THE ADJACENT BAYS.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS PERHAPS SOME ENHANCEMENT DUE TO THE POSITION
OF THIS DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN THE UPPER LOW NEAR THE BIG BEND IN TEXAS AND
THE OUTFLOW FROM THE CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL TROUGH IN
THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO.  ESTIMATED RAIN RATES UP TO 1.00" PER HALF
HOUR AS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE COLD TOPS WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF INCREASING
RATES AND SOME TRAINING.  THIS BATCH OF HEAVY RAIN, IF IT CONTINUES IT'S
MOVEMENT TO THE NORTH, COULD ALSO LATER IMPACT INLAND COUNTIES SUCH AS
WHARTON AND JACKSON WHERE FFG VALUES ARE LESS THAN 1.0" PER 3 HRS AND
WILL BE BREACHED IN A VERY SHORT TIME.
