EVENT...INTENSIFICATION OF SW FLANK OF TSTMS CLUSTER LEADING TO HVY
RAINFALL
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR IMAGERY SHOWS THE SW FLANK OF THE
CLUSTER OF TSTMS MOVING NEWD ACROSS N-CENTRAL TX HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE
LAST 1 HR.  CLOUD TOP TEMPS HAVE COOLED TO -66C OVER STONEWALL COUNTY
AND A FEW PIXELS OF -74C ARE SEEN ACROSS NE FISHER COUNTY (IT IS VERY
LIKELY THAT HAIL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FEW COLDEST PIXELS).  SLIGHTLY
CONCERNED ABOUT CONTINUED REDEVELOPMENT/BACKBUILDING ALONG SW FLANK OF
TSTMS CLUSTER INVOF STONEWALL AND HASKELL COUNTIES AS SOME TRAINING OF
CELLS APPEAR LIKELY.  1-HR HYDROESTIMTOR (ENDING 0515Z)INDICATES 1.1" MAX
RAINFALL OVER FISHER COUNTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CORE OF THAT CELL MOVING
NEWD INTO STONEWALL AND HASKELL COUNTIES.  LLVL JET HAS STRENGTHENED IN
LAST 2 HRS FROM 25 KTS TO 35-40 KTS ACROSS CENTRAL TX AND MAY BE MUCH
OF THE REASON BEHIND THIS INTENSIFICATION. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS
ACROSS STONEWALL AND HASKELL COUNTIES COULD REACH UP TO 1.0-2.0" IN THE
NEXT 1-2 HRS.
