PARISH
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...GOES STLT WINDS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
GOOD UPPER LVL DIFFLUENCE OVER THE CLUSTER OF CELLS THAT HAS BEEN
REGENERATING ALONG THE SRN CUSP OF A STNRY ALL AFTERNOON. SRLY SFC FLOW
AND S/SWRLY 850 MB HAS BEEN PRESENT AND UNWAVERING AS WELL OVER SE TX
BRINGING THE WARM MOIST AIR OUT OF THE WRN GULF TO FUEL THE CONTINUED
CELLS ACTIVITY. PW VALUES PER GOES SOUNDER ARE STILL BETWEEN 1.5-1.8"
IN SE/E TX AND W LA. WEAKENING LOW LVL FLOW AND LOSS OF SOLAR HEATING
APPEARS TO BE DECREASING THE CHC THAT ANY NEW CELLS WILL FORM AS THEY
HAVE BEEN OVER COUNTIES W OF SAN AUGUSTINE AND PROGRESS E.
.
CURRENTLY THERE ARE FEW REMAINING CELLS OVER ANGELINA/NACOGDOCHES/HOUSTON
COUNTIES THAT WILL MOVE EWD INTENSIFYING ANY FF PROBLEMS ALREADY
ONGOING OVER SAN AUGUSTINE/SABINE COUNTIES AND SABINE/NATCHITOCHES
PARISHES. CORE OF STRONGEST CELLS HAS BEEN DROPPING SEWD OVER THE PAST HR
PER VIS/LIGHTNING/RADAR DATA WHICH IS NOW BRINGING HVY RAINS INTO VERNON
PARISH BUT BESIDES THIS SHOULD HAVE A GENERAL W-E AXIS OF HVY RAINFALL
STILL TO KAEX AND TO NEAR KHEZ. ESTIMATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2-3.5"
POSSIBLE ALONG THIS RAINFALL AXIS OVER THE NEXT 2-3 HRS FROM SABINE/TX
EWD. HOWEVER..CELL ACTIVITY MAY QUICKLY BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET.
.
ONE CONCERN THOUGH IS THE NEWLY FORMED LINE OF CELLS THAT HAS SPAWNED
ALONG THE TX COAST AND WILL BE MOVING NNEWD TWDS THE TAIL END OF THESE
CELLS. IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER FOR A FEW HRS TIME..IT COULD INTERACT WITH
THE REMAINS OF THE SLOWLY WEAKENING COMPLEX..LIKELY JUST S/SE OF WHERE
THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS FALLEN THUS FAR. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS
ACTIVITY. SEE WEB ADDRESS IN ABOUT 10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC.
