EVENT...DEVELOPING COMPLEX
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...REFLECTED MCV IN CLOUDS HAS DISSIPATED
OVER PECOS COUNTY DUE TO DEVELOPING CONVECTION THOUGH CIRCULATION IS
STILL PRESENT AND AIDING GOOD MIDLEVEL VORTICITY ADVECTION ACROSS SW
TX AIDING DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION.  THE FIRST CU/COMPLEX HAS
BECOME MUCH MORE ORGANIZED OVER SCHLEICHER TO EDWARD COUNTIES WITH TOPS
CONTINUING TO COOL TO -65C WITH SOME GOOD OVERSHOOTING TOPS/HARD CU TOPS
SEEN IN VISIBLE...PARTICULARLY OVER EDWARDS COUNTY.  WESTERN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY INDICATES THAT ENIVRONMENT WAS DRY AS FIRST CELLS DEVELOPED
AND WEAKENED AND HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY BEEN REPLACED WITH MORE EFFICIENT
RAIN PRODUCERS DUE TO THE MOISTENING OF THE MIDLEVEL BY THE FIRST ROUND.
ADDITIONALLY...VIS LOOP SHOWS SE TO NW HIGH DENSITY CU STREAMERS FLOWING
INTO THE COMPLEX OVER SE EDWARDS INDICATING GOOD ISALLOBARIC FLOW AND
HIGH MOISTURE FLUX INTO THE COMPLEX.  WITH PWS MEASURED AT 2.0" PER
GOES SOUNDER...AND MOISTENED NEAR STORM ENVIRONMENT WOULD EXPECT RATES
OF 2.0"/HR.  SLOW SE PROPAGATION OF THE COMPLEX WILL LIKELY OCCUR BUT
AFTER TOTALS OF 2-3" WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WERE MERGERS OCCUR.
