SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF CELLS HAVE FORMED
IN A VERY MOIST AIR MASS ON THE ERN SIDE OF AN UPPER HIGH SEEN ON WV
IMAGERY CENTERED OVER W CENTRAL GA. TWO IN PARTICULAR ARE OF INTEREST AS
THEY APPEAR TO BE CLOSE TO MERGING INVOF SHCLEY/MACON/W DOOLY/N SUMTER
COUNTIES. CELLS TO THE S OF THESE COUNTIES ARE BUILDING NWD ALONG AN
WWD MARCHING OUTFLOW BNDRY SEEN ON VIS IMAGERY. CU TO THE W ARE SEEN
FLOWING UP AND OVER THIS BNDRY WHICH MAY PRODUCE A FEW STORMS BUT MAIN
CONCERN IS THE SLOWER MOVING CELLS BEHIND IT. BOTH CELL CLUSTERS HAVE
BEEN EXPANDING AND FAIRLY SLOW MOVING..CLOUD TOP TEMPS HAVE NOW REACHED
-67 TO -70C ON BOTH. 2015Z VIS IMAGERY SHOWED AN OVERSHOOTING TOP ON THE
CELL THAT WAS MOVING SWD INTO MACON COUNTY AND ALSO SHOWS THE BEGINNING
OF THE CELL MERGER. THOUGH MUCH OF GA COULD USE THE RAIN..WITH DWPTS IN
THE MID 70S..PW VALUES AT 2-2.25"..AND SLOW EXPECTED MOVEMENT OF CELLS
DURING AND AFTER MERGER..COULD SEE RAINRATES OF OF 2-3" IN FIRST HALF
HR OF MERGER WHICH SHOULD BE OCCURRING OVER NEXT 20-40 MIN AND RATES
OF 1-2"/30 MIN AFTERWARDS. CELLS FROM N CENTRAL GA ALSO APPEAR TO BE
BUILDING SWD AND MAY CONNECT WITH THE MERGING CELLS OVER THE ABOVE
MENTIONED COUNTES. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
