.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...INTENSIFYING OF STORMS AS THEY HAVE
MOVED THROUGH NE LA ENTERING SE MS OVER THE LAST 2 HOURS HAS PRODUCED
VERY HVY RAINS THROUGH THAT AREA. THESE CELLS HAVE FOR THE MOST PART
BEEN TRAINING OVER ST. TAMMANY PARISH IN NE LA AND INTO HANCOCK/PEARL
RIVER/PERRY/STONE/AND FOREST COUNTIES. HYDROESTIMATOR SHOWS AMOUNTS
OF 1-1.5" S AND SW OF LK PONTCHARTRAIN AND ANOTHER AREA IN S MS OF
1.2-1.6" FOR THE HR ENDING 0015Z. 3 HR ESTIMATES ARE BETWEEN 3.0-3.2"
FROM ST. CHARLES PARISH SWWD TO THE COAST IN TERRBONNE PARISH...STRETCHING
NEWD FROM LK PONTCHARTRAIN ESTIMATES ARE IN THE RANGE OF 2.6-2.9" ACROSS
ST. TAMMANY PARISH TO FORREST COUNTY MS. A MAX OF 3.3" WAS ALSO SEEN IN NE
PEARL RIVER COUNTY. ADDITIONAL RAINS OF ABOUT .75-1" HAVE LIEKLY FALLEN
IN THE COUNTIES MENTIONED ABOVE IN SRN MS SINCE THE 3 HR ESTIMATE PERIOD
ENDING 0015Z. SFC WINDS HAVE BECOME VERY CNVG INVOF EXTREME SE LA/SE
MS/SW AL WHERE NEW CNVTN CONTINUES TO BE GENERATED MOVING TO THE NE. IR
STLT IMAGERY SHOWS CNVTN DYING VERY QUICKLY IN THE GULF S OF LA..LIKELY
BECAUSE THE FRNT HAS PUSHED FAR ENOUGH THROUGH THE CNVTN TO CUT OFF ITS
INFLOW. STRONGER CELLS REMAIN TO THE E AND OVERLAND IN S MS BUT IT SEEMS
AS THOUGH THE BETTER MOISTURE IS TRYING TO SHIFT NEWD. HEAVIEST RAINS
SHOULD BEGIN SHIFTING INTO SW AL OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS WITH RAINRATES
OF 1.5-2.5"/HR..LOCALLY HIGHER. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR ESTIMATE GRAPHIC.
