SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...A LINE OF CONVECTIVE CELLS ORIENTED SW
TO NE LIES ACROSS PORTIONS OF SE AL, SW GA, AND NE FL HAS BEGUN TO SLOW
IN ITS EWRD PROGRESSION FROM LATEST GOES IMAGERY. MANUAL ESTIMATES OVER
GRADY/MITCHELL/DECATUR GAVE 1.0" TO SOME LOCATIONS BETWEEN 1645Z-1915Z.
COLDEST CTT'S WERE SHOWN TO BE AT -61C IN 1955Z IR OVER SE GEORGIA
COUNTIES OF GRADY AND THOMAS. NUMEROUS CELL MERGERS AND OVERSHOOTING
TOPS CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN IN VIS...BASED ON IR AND VIS SIGNATURES MANUAL
DERIVED STLT RAINFALL RATES OF 1-2"/HR WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER RATES IN
THE MOST INTENSE CORES.
.
MORE CELLS CONTINUE TO APPROACH FRMO THE SW END OF THE LINE MOVING
NEWRD THAT ARE PRESENTLY OFFSHORE OF NW FL. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT
THESE CELLS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE NEWRD AS THE ORIENTATION OF
THE CONVECTIVE LINE REMAINS NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE FLOW AT THE SFC AND
MID-LEVELS PER STLT DERIVED WINDS AND 18Z RAOBS.
