SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VORT MAX IS ACCELERATING TO THE NE NOW
AND IS JUST N OF KLCH IN SW LA. WHILE CNVTN IS LOOSELY ORGANIZED THERE
IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. DEEPEST MOISTURE IS POOLED S OF OLD
FNTL BOUNDARY AND COVERS SRN LA. MICROWAVE PASS FROM 1130Z SHOWED SWATH
OF 2.0 TO 2.1" PW'S JUST OFF THE COAST.
.
AS VORT CONTS TO LIFT TO THE NE IT WILL GRDLY PULL THE CNVTN N
ALSO. BUT THAT MAY TAKE A FEW MORE HRS AS ADL CNVTN IS DEVELOPING OFF
THE COAST. THERE IS AN ILL DEFINED LN THAT EXTENDS TO THE SE FROM SRN
CAMERON PARISH TO A POINT ABOUT 125 KM S OF TERREBONNE THAT APPEARS TO
BE THE BACK EDGE OF THE CNVTN AND ALSO THE DEEPEST MOISTURE AS PER THE
LATEST GOES DRIVED PW'S. COLDEST TOPS WITH HEAVIEST ESTD RAINFALL OVER
LAFOURCHE HAS NOW WARMED BUT ADL CELLS ARE DEVELOPING ALG BACK EDGE
OVER NRN TERREBONNE. VERY HEAVY MAX RAINFALL UP TO 1.5"/HLF HR PSBL
WITH COLDER TOPS AND MERGING CELLS. SE LA PARISHES AT HIGHEST THREAT
FOR THESE RAINFALL AMNTS.
