.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THE CLUSTER OF T-STORMS THAT ORIGINATED
IN N.E. TEXAS AND MOVED THRU S.E. OKLAHOMA IS NOW PROGRESSING INTO
WESTERN ARKANSAS.  THIS IS YET ANOTHER IN A NUMBER OF WAVES THAT ARE
TRANSVERSING THRU THE N.W. QUADRANT OF ARKANSAS TODAY.  EMBEDDED 1"
TO 1.5" PER HALF-HOUR RAIN RATES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LATEST BATCH
WHICH WILL SURELY AGGRAVATE ALREADY SERIOUS FLOODING PROBLEMS.  OF COURSE
THIS BATCH IS ALSO DESTINED TO RIDE NEWRD TOWARD THE AR/MO BORDER AND
IS AIDED BY INCREASING UPPER DIFFLUENCE AND STAGNANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE.  WV IMAGERY SHOWS THE NEGATIVELY TILTED TROF IN E. TEXAS
MAY BE BEGINNING TO LIFT NORTHEASTWARD.
