EVENT...CLUSTERS OF CONVECTION MOVING INTO ARAPAHOE..ADAMS AND ELBERT
COUNTIES
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TWO CLUSTERS OF CD TOPPED CNVTN ARE
MVG THRU THE INDICATED COUNTIES AND THEY APPEAR TO BE MERGING INTO AN
MCS. CLD TOP TEMPS HAVE BEEN COOLING/EXPANDING AS THEY'VE TRACKED EAST
BRINGING INCRG RAIN RATES.
.
CNVTN IS MVG INTO HIGHER MOISTURE REGIME AS GOES DERIVED PW LOOP SHOWS
HIGHER VALUES MVG INTO E CENTRAL CO FROM SW KS. LATEST VALUES OVER CLEAR
RGN IN SE CO ARE 1.5-1.6" WHICH IS A TAD HIGHER THAN THAT INDICATED BY
GPS DERIVED VALUES. CNVTN IS PROGRESSIVE THUS FAR AND THIS IS HELPING
KEEP RAINFALL TOTS DOWN. SPC MESO ANALYSIS GRIDS ALSO POINT TO DEEPER
LAYERED MOSITURE CONVERGENCE OVER THE CNVTN. SATELLITE ESTS INDICATE A
QUICK HLF HR RAINFALL UP TO .75" PSBL.
.
WATCHING ONE OTHER AREA IN NE CO NEAR THE KS BORDER OVER KIT CARSON
COUNTY. SATELLITE ANIMATION SHOWS BACK EDGE HAS BEEN ANCHORED OVER ERN
KIT CARSON PAST CPL OF HOURS LIKELY BEING AIDED BY LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
ADVECTION. AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTS GIVE 1.5" FOR THIS AREA PAST 3
HRS WHICH LOOKS REASONABLE IF NOT A LITTLE ON THE LIGHT SIDE FOR AN
ABSOLUTE MAX.
