SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...EXPANDING CLUSTER OF CELLS OVER WRN LAS
ANIMAS/E COSTILLA IN CO AND W COLFAX COUNTY IN NM HAS HAD MANY SLOW MOVING
CELLS WITHIN IT. CELLS HAVE MOSTLY REMAINED OVER THE SAME AREAS WITHIN
THESE COUNTIES OR HAVE HAD SEVERAL CELLS PASS OVER THEM PER STLT/RADAR
TRENDS. 3HR RAINFALL ESTIMATES FROM THE HYDROESTIMATOR ENDING 2130Z SHOW
AN AREA OF 1.9" OVER WRN LAS ANIMAS THOUGH THIS COULD BE UP TO .5" TOO
LOW DUE TO THE FACT THAT A MERGER TOOK PLACE BETWEEN CELLS AND CAUSED
THEM TO BE STNRY FOR 15-30 MIN. PART OF THIS CLUSTER IS NOW MOVING EWD
THROUGH THE COUNTY ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND WITH OTHER SMALL CELLS
HAVING ALREADY INITIATED IN THAT AREA..COULD SEE ANOTHER MERGER INVOF E
LAS ANIMAS/W BACA/EXTREME N UNION COUNTIES. ANOTHE PART OF THE CLUSTER IS
BUILDING SWD THROUGH W COLFAX TO NW MORA WITH TOWERING CU BEGINNING TO
GROW WWD INTO NE TAOS COUNTIES. THESE CELLS ARE REMAINING NEARLY STNRY
WHILE PRODUCING RAIN RATES OF 1-2"/HR. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR ESTIMATES
