EVENT...HEAVY RAIN NOW MOVING INTO THE DALLAS METRO AREA
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONVECTIVE COMPLEX JUST SOUTH OF THE RED
RIVER CONTINUES TO MAKE SLOW EWARD PROGRESS WITH SOME UPWIND DEVELOPMENT
NOTED NORTH OF ABI TOWARDS 85H THETA-E AXIS.  MOST RECENT IR/VIS IMAGERY
SHOWS THAT A VERY WELL DEFINED LINE OF OVERSHOOTING TOPS APPEARS AS THOUGH
IT IS CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF DAL AND IS ROUGHLY ORIENTED ALONG ROUTE 30.
.
MORNING SOUNDINGS WERE SHOWING AN EXTREMELY FAVORABLE PROFILE FOR HEAVY
RAIN WITH DEEPLY SATURATED LAYER WITH LITTLE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND
DEEP ABOVE 0C LAYER.  CONSIDERING THIS AND THE RAPIDLY COOLING CLOUD TOPS
AND OS TOPS NOTED ON IMAGERY OVER THE DAL METRO AREA, BELIEVE THAT LOCAL
RAINFALL RATES OF 2-3"/HR ARE QUITE LIKELY OVER THE METRO AREA OVER THE
NEXT 30-60 MINUTES.
.
AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1-3"
WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS HAVE OCCURRED FROM ROUGHLY JACK COUNTY ESE
TOWARDS DALLAS COUNTY OVER THE LAST 3-6 HRS.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
