SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...1255Z SSMI MICROWAVE PASS HAD HIGHEST MAX
RATES OF 1.4 INCHES PER HR IN LAFOURCHE PARISH AND REMEMBER THAT IS AN
AREAL AVERAGE RAIN RATE OVER A 15 KM AREA...SO VERY IMPRESSIVE THEN AND
EVEN MORE SO NOW AS THE CONVECTIVE BAND HAS CONTINUED TO COOL FROM -68C AT
MICROWAVE TIME TO -73C AT 13Z AND REMAIN CLOSE TO -73C BUT EXPAND AS THE
CONVECTIVE BAND SLOWLY DRIFTS EAST AND NE.  BUT THERE WAS SOME MOVEMENT TO
EAST AND NE SO INSTEAD OF MULTIPLE TRAINING CELLS OVER ANY ONE SPOT THERE
COULD BE 2 OR 3 THAT CONTINUE TO GIVE 1 TO 2 TO 2.5 INCHES IN A 30 TO 60
MINUTE TIME PERIOD.  SOME SPILLOVER OF THIS HIGH RAIN RATES IN LOUISIANA
FROM LAFOURCHE THRU THE NEW ORLEANS METRO AREA MAKING IT INTO S CENTRAL
MS AND SO WILL KEEP AN EYE OUT HERE...ESPECIALLY COASTAL AREAS..BUT DON'T
THINK AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHER OVER S MS COMPARED WITH SE LA AT LEAST IN THE
SHORT TERM.  LONGER TERM...MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL CONTINUE VERY GOOD INTO
N CENTRAL GULF AND COAST AREAS.  ANOTHER INTERESTING SHORT WAVE IGNITING
CONVECTIVE IN THE CENTRAL GULF NEAR 26N/93W MAY COME FOR A VISIT TONIGHT.
