.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TSTORMS IN THE WARM MOIST AIR MASS AHEAD
OF A FRONTAL BNDRY HAVE PRODUCED SOME HVY RAINS..MOSTLY OVER PARTS OF NRN
MAINE BUT ALSO IN UPSTATE NY/NRN VT AND ACROSS THE CANADIAN BORDER. CLOUD
TOPS HAVE FOR THE MOST PART BEEN VERY WARM WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING
THE STRONGER CELLS IN PISCATAQUIS/AROOSTOOK COUNTIES WHERE COLDEST
TOPS HAVE REACHED -59C. BIGGEST CONCERN HAS BEEN FOR AN AREA ALONG THE
FRANKLIN/OXFORD CO BORDER WHERE CELLS HAVE REMAINED NEARLY STNRY SINCE
FORMING AROUND 1745Z. GOES SOUNDER/GPS VALUES REVEAL PWS OF 1.2-1.5"
IN THE AREA AND PLOT OF SFC WINDS SHOWS WINDS FROM THE S INVOF SRN
COAST OF ME APPEAR TO BE KEEPING STORMS FOCUSED OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN
OF NW/NRN ME. AUTOMATED ESTIMATES ARE PERFORMING VERY POORLY WITH THIS
EVENT DUE TO THE VERY WARM CLOUD TOPS ASSCD WITH THE STNRY CELLS. MANUEL
ESTIMATES GIVE AMOUNTS OF 3-3.8" FOR THE 3 HRS FROM 1745-2045Z FOR THE
CELL OVER THE OXFORD/FRANKLIN CO BORDER. OTHER RAINFALL ESTIMATES ARE
GIVEN BELOW. PER LATEST VIS IMAGERY/OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS BELIEVE WILL
SEE W-E ORIENTED RAINS STILL ANCHORED ALONG THE FRANKLIN/OXFORD BORDER
STRETCHING INTO S SOMERSET AND POSSIBLY S PENOBSCOT CO OVER NEXT 1-2 HRS.
