SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...FOR NE NY THRU N VT...CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN NH AND C MAINE...BAROCLINIC LEAF MOST DEFINITIVE CLOUD SIGNATURE
ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AHEAD OF HIGH LEVEL SHORT WAVE
LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL PA.  SOUTHERN EDGE OF COLDEST CLOUD TOPS
MARKING APPROXIMATE AREA OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION AND THIS GENERALLY
FROM NE NY THRU C AND N VT ACROSS N HALF OF NH AND C ME.  AT THE SAME
TIME BEST MOISTURE PLUME AS DEPICTED BY MICROWAVE AND GOES SOUNDER DATA
FROM JUST OFF THE CAROLINA COAST NORTHWARD ALONG MID-ATLANTIC COAST
INTO EASTERN NY AND WESTERN NEW ENGLAND.  AND BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT
FOLLOWING ABOUT THE SAME AREA AND SLOWLY SHIFTING EAST...SO CAN EXPECT
ENHANCED PRECIPITATION WITH BAROCLINIC LEAF AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT TO
CONTINUE NE NY THRU C ME AND LIFT SLOWLY NORTH AND NE THIS MORNING.
FOR SE NY THRU S NEW ENGLAND...BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT FLOWING INTO
SE NY AND SW NEW ENGLAND AND WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SLOWLY EAST.  SEE HPC
QPFERD FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON AMOUNTS.  ADDED FEATURE FOR LATER
TODAY AND TONIGHT IN THIS AREA IS CONVECTIVE LIKE COLD TOP RAINS THAT
EARLIER THIS MORNING WERE PRODUCING 1.0+"/HR AREAL AVG RAIN RATES JUST
OFF THE SC COAST.  IF THEY WERE TO HOLD TOGETHER IN SOME FORM THIS AREA
COULD CONTINUE THE POTENTIAL FOR HVY RAINFALL LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT
AND FURTHER INCREASE FLOOD/FF POTENTIAL FROM SE NY THRU
S NEW ENGLAND.   WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR..
