EVENT...CONCERN FOR CELL TRAINING WITH REDEVELOPMENT ALONG S EDGE OF BAND
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...REDEVLOPMENT ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF
THE MAIN CLOUD BAND DRAPED ACROSS E NC THRU E VA IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT
IN STLT IMAGERY.  CLOUD TOP TEMPS HAVE COOLED IN THE LAST HALF HR FROM
-52C TO -55C INVOF OF WARREN COUNTY IN N CENTRAL NC.  ADDITIONALLY..CLOUD
TOPS ARE EXPANDING A GREATER RATE ALONG THE NC/VA BORDER WHERE THIS CLOUD
BAND IS POSITIONED OVER.  WITH REDEVELOPMENT SEEN IN STLT IMAGERY ALONG
WITH CLOUD TOP COOLING THINKING RAIN RATES MAY INCREASE TO NEAR 1.0"/HR
WITH THE POTENTIAL OF CELL TRAINING TO OCCUR AS CONTINUED REDEVELOPMENT
IS LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS.  COUNTIES IN THIS DISCUSSION AREA
INCLUDE..HANOVER EWD TO MIDDLESEX THEN NWD TO MIDDLESEX AND FINALLY WWD
TO HANOVER COUNTY.  BEST SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH
OF THIS REGION BASED ON ANALYSIS FROM 21Z..WHICH IS LIKELY HELPING TO
REGENERATE THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE CLOUD BAND AT THIS TIME.
