SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR LOOP SHOWS A CONVECTIVE CELL ACROSS
S EDDY COUNTY THAT DEVELOPED AROUND 0132Z AND HAS REMAINED ROOTED ALONG
THE DRY LINE WITH MAXIMIZED SFC MST CONVERGENCE FOR NEARLY 2 HRS NOW.
THOUGH TOPS DID NOT REACH -60C FOR SOMETIME...AT 0315Z THE OVERSHOOTING
TOP WAS TO -70C.  WITH VERY IMPRESSIVE TDS IN THE LOW 60S AND PWS OVER
1.14" PER GOES SOUNDER...MANUAL SATELLITE TECHNIQUES ESTIMATE 1.25"/HR
BUT WITH HIGH SFC MST FLUX FROM 15-20KT INFLOW... WOULD EXPECT WELL OVER
1.75" RATES ESPECIALLY NOW WITH A FULLY SATURATED PROFILE.  MANUAL IFFA
TOTALS ARE 2.5" FOR THE 2HRS FROM 0132Z TO 0332Z BUT ADD .5" FOR MERGER
IN THE LAST IMAGE...FOR 3.0".  WITH STRONG DYNAMICS STILL OVER S CA
INTERMITTENT SHORTWAVE PULSES COMING OUT OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET AND GOOD
