EVENT...CONVECTION AND INTERACTION WITH BOUNDARIES CENTRAL AND WEST...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONVECTION OVER WESTERN INTERIOR AND
CENTRAL MOUNTAINS THAT STARTED THIS ALL OFF HAVE RESULTED IN BOUNDARIES
FOR MORE ACTIVITY TO FORM AND BLOSSOM.  INSTABILITY A BIT GREATER
OVER WESTERN PART AND THAT HAPPEN TO BE WHERE BROAD WEAK MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE THE BEST...BOUT MESO FEATURES WILL DRIVE STORMS INTO EARLY
THIS EVENING WHEN CONVECTION WILL DECREASE AS WE APPROACH NIGHTFALL.
CURRENTLY CONCERNED ABOUT SW PART OF THE ISLAND CONVECTION BEING FED
FROM CENTRAL CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT.  THIS SEEMS
THE LARGEST AREA TO PERSIST FOR THE NEXT 2 HRS OR SO.  CONVECTIVE CELL
INTERIOR N CENTRAL PART NEAR MOROVIS MAYBE PRODUCING JUST AS MUCH RAIN
BUT OVER A SMALLER AREA.  PWS AROUND 1.6 INCHES EAST TO 1.7/1.8"  WEST
AND OFFSHORE WEST BETWEEN HISPANOLA AND THE ISLAND AS PER LATEST GOES
SOUNDER DATA...SO CAN EXPECT ANY ONE CELL CAN PRODUCE 1-2 INCHES OVER
AN HOURS TIME FOR LOCALIZED FF.   WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
