SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST VIS STLT IMAGERY SHOWS
CU/TCU CLOUD STREETS OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN NC BEGINNING BUILD
RAPIDLY INVOF HALIFAX..WILSON..EDGECOMBE..PITT COUNTIES IN NC.
GREATEST CONCERN IS FOR THESE CELLS TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL HVY RAINS
OVER ALREADY RAIN-SOAKED AREAS INVOF NORTHAMPTON..HALIFAX COUNTY IN
NC..GREENSVILLE.. SOUTHAMPTON..SUSSEX..COUTNTIES IN VA. THESE CELLS
ARE STILL VERY WARM TOP..AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR MOST OF TODAY'S RAIN
EVENT..AND ARE NOT VERY IDENTIFIABLE IN IR AT THIS TIME.  AREAS IN THE
ABOVE MENTIONED COUNTIES MAY EXPERIENCE RAINFALL RATES UP TO 1.0"/HR FROM
THESE CELLS.  THERE IS THE THREAT OF THESE CELLS AND THOSE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON TO TRAIN AS THEY ARE DEVELOPING ALMOST
IN AN N-S ORIENTATION WITHIN THE CLOUD STREETS PROLONGING THE DURATION
OF HVY RAIN.
