SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CNVTN ON THE OUTER FRINGES OF TROPICAL
STORM NOEL HAS RAPIDLY INCREASED OVER THE WRN END OF PR OVER THE LAST 1-2
HRS. THESE CELLS ARE TRAINING FROM SE-NW AND HAVE BEEN MOSTLY AFFECTING
THE SWRN PART OF THE ISLAND. MANUEL AND AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES BOTH
GIVE BETWEEN 1.5-2.2" OVER THE LAST HOUR AND HALF ENDING 1815Z. . PW
VALUES ARE BETWEEN 2-2.2" CURRENTLY IN THE VERY MOIST TROPICAL AIR
MASS ASSCD WITH NOEL. CURRENT LINE OF CNVTN THAT STRETCHES FROM N OF
NOELS CENTER SW INTO THE WRN PART OF PR SHOULD PERSIST FOR MUCH OF THE
AFTERNOON. THIS NEW BAND SEEMED TO HAVE FORMED WHEN EARLIER CNVTN OVER
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC COLLAPSED BETWEEN 15 AND 16Z. CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE
CURRENTLY AT -71C AND IN THE LATEST IR IMAGE HAD A BURST OF COLDER TOPS
AGAIN OVER THE EXTREME SWRN PART OF THE ISLAND. ADDITIONAL CNVTN TO THE
SE FORMING SHOULD MOVE NWWD WITHIN THE BAND SHOULD PROVIDE ADITIONAL
RAIN WITH RATES OF 1.5-2.5"/HR AS IT CROSSES PR. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
