EVENT...HEAVY RAINFALL WITH REGENERATING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX FROM SE BAY
COUNTY INTO W LIBERTY COUNTY
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES OVER THE
LAST 6HRS MAXING OUT BETWEEN 5.0-7.0" OF RAIN FROM AN APPROXIMATE AREA
FROM PFM EAST TO ABOUT 30 MILES N OF AAF.  LATEST INFRARED SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS CLASSIC REGENERATING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CONTINUES OVER THE
FL PANHANDLE THIS EVENING AIDED TO A LARGE EXTENT FROM RIGHT ENTRANCE
REGION DYNAMICS FROM UPPER JET PASSING BY TO THE NORTH.  APEX OF THE
ENHANCED PORTION OF THE CONVECTIVE WEDGE APPEARS AS THOUGH IT HAS
MADE SOME SLOW EWARD PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 30-60 MINUTES AND WITH
THAT BELIEVE HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAS SHIFTED EWARD TO ABOUT 25 MILES
EAST OF PFN.  RAINFALL RATES STILL LIKELY RUNNING UPWARDS OF 2.0"/HR
IN THE MOST INTENSE CORES.  INSTABILITY AXIS APPEARS TO BE ORIENTED
ROUGHLY FROM THE EXTREME W GULF OF MEXICO ENE TOWARDS WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE.  THIS ORIENTATION COMBINED WITH WSW FLOW AT
85H ON LOCAL AREA VWPS SHOULD CONTINUE TO HELP TRANSPORT HIGH THETA-E
ATMOSPHERE INTO THE BACK END OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEX TO AT LEAST CONTINUE
THE POSSIBLE THREAT OF REGENERATION AT THE TAIL END OF COMPLEX.  CHAN 2/4
IMAGERY DOES SHOW MESOSCALE BOUNDARY THAT EXTENDS TO ABOUT 30 MILES SW
OF PANAMA CITY WHICH COULD HELP TO POSSIBLY FOCUS ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY.
WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
