EVENT...QUASI-STATIONARY CONVECTION
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS... SATELLITE ANIMATION SHOWS THAT AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY PROPAGATING FROM THE NORTHEAST OUT OF EASTERN LA/WESTERN MS
HAS MERGED WITH CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL LA.  THIS MERGER HAS INCREASED
THE ACTION WHICH NOW STRETCHES FROM WESTERN LA TO POINTE_COUPEE PARISH.
ALSO AIDING IN THIS CONVECTION IS A GOOD AREA OF PW THE EXTENDS IN OFF
THE GULF.  GIVEN THIS AND THE FACT THAT SOME OVERSHOOTING TOPS ARE SEEN
IN SATELLITE...WOULD ESTIMATE HOURLY RATES AROUND UPWARDS TOWARDS 2"/HR.
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WILL WATCH AREA THAT APPEARS TO BE BACK BUILDING
OVER EASTERN TX AND FOR REPEAT CELLS WHICH MIGHT DEVELOP ALONG BOUNDARIES
FROM CURRENT CONVECTION
