SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...REMNANT OF MCS THAT DEVELOPED OVER NE
MX DURING THE OVERNIGHT HRS HAS BEEN MOVG STEADILY NWD..BUT INCRG..ACRS
S CENTRAL/SE TX. THE INCRG BAND OF CNVTN ASSOCD WITH THE MCS EXTENDS FM
SE OF SAT TO E OF PSX.  AT THE SAME TIME..A SEPARATE SW-NE BAND OF CNVTN
WHICH BEGAN TO DEVELOP AFTER 16Z..WITHIN SFC CONVERGENCE ZONE.. EXTENDS FM
VCNTY OF BPT TO VCNTY OF ARM..WHARTON. THESE TWO BAND HAVE BEGUN TO MERGE.
.
THUS FAR..NWD MOVEMENT OF CNVTN HAS HELD DOWN RAINFALL TOTALS. EVEN
SO.. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATORS ARE INDICATING HRLY AMOUNTS HAVE RANGED
UP TO THE  1-1.5" RANGE AND RAINFALL TOTALS BTWN 1-2". SOME MAX TOTALS
OF 2"PLUS WERE INDICATED S OF VCT. WOULD EXPECT THAT SIMILAR HRLY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS AND TOTALS WILL OCCUR ALONG THE PATH OF THE NWD MOVG
CNVTN. HOWEVER..WITH MERGERS AND OVERALL COVERAGE OF CNVTN INCRG..WOULD
EXPECT SOME LOCATIONS TO PICK UP TOTALS BTWN 2-3".
