.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWING LINE OF
CONVECTION JUST BEHIND THE SFC FRONT IN E CNTRL TX CENTERED IN A LINE
FROM WILSON COUNTY IN SRN TX TO GRAYSON/FANNIN COUNTIES IN NRN TX OVER
PAST COUPLE OF HOURS.  CELLS CONTINUING TO MOVE NWD PARALLEL TO FLOW AT
A SWIFT SPACE WHICH HAS HELPED TO KEEP THE FLASH FLOODING THREAT DOWN.
WHILE AM CURRENTLY NOT CONCERNED WITH ANY WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING AT
THE MOMENT...CELLS DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FURTHER SOUTH WITH
LATEST IMAGE SHOWING CELLS DEVELOPING IN WILSON COUNTY.  THIS HAS BEEN
GIVING MORE TIME FOR CELL TRAINING AND MERGERS WHICH COULD PRODUCE RATES
THAT EXCEED 1.0"/HR FOR BRIEF PERIOD ALONG THE MID SECTION OF THE LINE
OF TIME GIVEN PW VALUES ARE AROUND 1.10" PER 18Z RAOBS.  WITH WEAKENING
ELEVATED CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER BOUNDARY MOVING CLOSER
TO PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED CONVECTION...OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS  EXPECTING
AREAS IN NRN/NW TX AND SRN/SE OK TO APPROACH 1.25"/HR FOR BRIEF PERIODS
OF TIME IN ANY CELL MERGERS GIVEN THAT CLOUD TOPS ARE AROUND -52C WITH
COLDEST TOPS REACHING -58C WHICH EXCEEDS THE EL BASED ON KFWD 18Z RAOB.
