SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MCV OVER WESTERN PECOS COUNTY DROPPING
SE LEADING TO SOME VORT ADVECTION AND UVVS OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION
OF SW TX.  VIS LOOP SHOWS CELLS ARE MAINLY CONFINED TO HIGH ELEVATIONS
WHERE SFC CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED.  THIS HAS LEAD TO A STATIONARY CELL
OVER S BREWSTER COUNTY THAT CONTINUES TO BURST WITH HARD TOPS..WHILE A
CELL OVER SE PRESIDIO COUNTY WAS DOING THE SAME BUT BROKE OFF THE HIGHER
TERRIAN TOWARD THE OTHER CELL...WHICH WILL MERGE AND INCREASE RATES.
PWS ARE LOWER BUT STILL QUITE GOOD FOR THE AREA AT 1.4-1.6" PER GOES
SOUNDER...ALONG WITH STATIONARY NATURE...MANUAL ESTIMATES OF 1.0"
HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED WITH THE CELL OVER THE LAST HOUR ENDING 1745Z.
RATES WILL INCREASE TO 1.5"/HR HAS CELLS CONTINUE TO MOISTEN THE NEAR
STORM ENVIRONMENT.  CONTINUED GOOD SFC CONVERGENCE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
