EVENT...INDIVIDUAL CELL MERGERS ABOUT TO OCCUR
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...GOES VIS STLT IMAGERY SHOWS MULTIPLE
INDIVIDUAL STRONG CONVECTIVE CELLS OVER CENTRAL OK..ALL LOCATED ON THE
EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER LVL LOW WHICH IS SLOWLY MOVING EWD ACROSS NW TX.
CLOUD TOP TEMPS OBSERVED FROM IR SHOW THAT THESE CELLS ARE ALL RELATIVELY
WARM TOPPED WITH TEMPS AROUND -46C.  NEVERTHELESS..THESE CELLS ARE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HVY RAINS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND
MOST IMMEDIATE CONCERN OVER THE NEXT HR IS FOR THESE CELLS TO BEGIN
MERGING WITH EACH OTHER..WHICH WILL LEAD INCREASE RAIN RATES POSSIBLY
OVER 1.0-1.5"/HR WHERE MERGERS ARE SEEN.
