SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS A VORTICITY
CENTER DRIFTING WESTWARD FROM ARIZONA INTO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ACROSS
THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER.  NORTH OF THIS PVA, CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED
OVER EASTERN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY IN CA, AND IN SOUTHERN CLARK COUNTY
IN NEVADA.  SOUNDER DATA SHOWS 2.00" PLUS PW VALUES ACROSS S.W. ARIZONA
AND NOSING UP INTO THIS REGION.  ALONG WITH HIGH 60 AND LOW 70 DEWPOINTS
AND OCCASIONAL OVERSHOOTING TOPS, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EFFICIENT RAIN
PRODUCER.  MAX ESTIMATED RAIN RATES FROM SATELLITE INDICATE UP TO 1.2"
PER HALF-HOUR IN S. CLARK COUNTY.  TOTAL RAINFALL MAY BE 3.4" IN THE
LAST HOUR FROM 1530-1630Z.  THOUGH THE RATES ARE SOMEWHAT LOWER IN THE
CELLS IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY...THE MOVEMENT OF THESE CELLS ARE SLOWER
AND MAY LEAD TO HIGHER TOTALS IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO.
