LOCATION...CENTRAL ALABAMA... . ATTN WFOS...BMX...MOB... ATTN RFCS...SERFC... . EVENT...TRAINING HEAVY RAIN BURSTS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA... . SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...ENHANCED CONVECTIVE CLOUD BAND ORIENTED SW TO NE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. SUBSYNOPTIC WAVE CAN BE SEEN IN IR IMAGERY MOVING NEWD ACROSS W CENTRAL ALABAMA. THIS WILL HOLD UP ENHANCED CONVECTIVE BAND ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA FOR A TIME THIS MORNING AND MAY ALLOWED FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE HEAVY RAIN BURSTS TO TRAINING ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA COUNTIES...IE WILLCOX TO TALLAPOOSA WHERE 3HR RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY REACH AS HIGH AS 2 INCHES PER 3HRS. SUBSYNOPTIC WAVE MOVEMENT WILL MOSTLY LIKELY GIVE LESS RAINFALL TO CENTRAL ALABAMA THAT WHAT FELL ACROSS E CENTRAL MS OVERNIGHT...BUT STILL A SLIGHT CHANCE AN ISOLATED SPOT COULD GET HIGHER AMOUNTS THAT COULD RAISE CONCERNS FOR ISOLATED FF. BUT THINK MOVEMENT OF CONVECTIVE BAND BEHIND SYNOPTIC WAVE WILL LOWER ANY FF THREAT WITH IT PASSAGE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA LATER THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR... GRAPHICAL PRODUCT OF SATELLITE ESTIMATES ON THE WEB FOR THE 06-12Z TIME PERIOD. MAX SATELLITE ESTIMATES ONLY A LITTLE ABOVE 2.0"/6HRS OVER E CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI WHICH IS LOWER THAN OBSERVED...BUT POSITION OF MAX OKAY AND ISOLATED NATURE OF MAX RAINFALL BEYOND RESOLUTION OF SATELLITE ESTIMATING CAPABILITIES... .
