.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TROPICAL STORM OLGA IS SEEN ON
WV/IR IMAGERY CONTINUING ITS WWD MOVMENT ACROSS HISPANIOLA AT THIS
TIME. CURRENTLY A FEW SHOWERS ARES STILL AFFECTING PARTS OF PR BUT THE
WORST OF THE FLOOD THREAT SEEMS TO BE OVER. A HEAVIER BAND OF SHOWERS
TO S OF THE WRN PART OF THE ISLAND HAS BEEN STEADILY MOVING NWD AND
COULD BRING SOME HEAVIER RAINS TO THE SWRN CORNER OF PR IN ABOUT 2-3
HRS TIME IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER. ADDITIONALLY SCATTERED SHOWERS E OF PR
ARE BEGINNING TO MOVE OVER THE ERN END OF THE ISLAND AND WILL AGITATE
ANY FLOODING ALREADY OCCURRING.
.
PW VALUES FROM 0619Z AMSU PASS SHOWED THAT THE PLUME OF MOISTURE WHICH
SHOWED A STRONG CONNECTION TO OVER 2" PW'S EARLIER HAS WEAKENED SOME. THE
BULK OF THE 2+" PW VALUES NOW LIKE N AND NW OF PR WITH THE TROPICAL
STORM. LOW LVL SATELLITE WINDS SHOWED THAT ERLY FLOW HAD RETURNED SE
AND E OF PR IN THE WAKE OF OLGA EFFECTIVELY HELPING TO CUT OFF THE NWD
FLOW OF THE RICHER MOISTURE. PW VALUES OVER AND INVOF THE ISLAND WERE
STILL IN THE 1.8-2" RANGE BUT SHOULD CONTINUE TO DECREASE WITH THE WWD
MOVEMENT OF OLGA. SEE WEB ADDRESS IN ABOUT 10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC SHOWING
0619Z PW VALUES FROM AMSU.
FYI...A NESDIS SAB PRECIP METEOROLOGIST WILL NOT BE ON DUTY FROM 1015Z
TO 1200Z DUE TO ILLNESS.
