SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR LOOP SHOWS ENHANCED CLOUD TOPS
WITH ACTIVITY MOVING SE ACROSS OK WITH COLDEST TOPS OVER NE OK
(NEAR TULSA) ASSOCIATED WITH MESOSCALE WAVE. AUTOMATED SATELLITE
ESTIMATING TECHNIQUES SUGGEST ANOTHER 1-2" HAS FALLEN IN THE VICINITY
OF THIS DEVELOPING WAVE DURING THE PAST HOUR. BELIEVE SIMILAR HOURLY
TOTALS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD AS 2 LINES CONTINUE TO
CONVERGE. ALSO WATCHING AREA FARTHER TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS S CENT
OK WHERE SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET IS DIRECTED INTO SW FLANK OF LINE
(NEAR GRADY/STEPHENS/GARVIN COUNTIES) TO SEE IF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT
ALLOWS FOR ANY PROLONGED PERIOD OF CELL TRAINING. AT THIS POINT THE LINE
APPEARS TO BE MAKING ENOUGH PROGRESS TO THE SOUTHEAST TO OFFSET THIS BUT
IT SHOULD BE MONITORED IN CASE THE LINE SLOWS DOWN. TO THE NORTHEAST,
IR LOOP AND RADAR COMPOSITE REFLECTIVITY DATA IS SHOWING AN INCREASE IN
ENHANCEMENT WITH LINE OVER S CENT MO/N CENT AR. NEW CELLS FORMING OUT
AHEAD OF ORIGINAL LINE WILL LEAD TO CELL MERGERS AND INTENSE RAINFALL
RATES TO AT LEAST 2"/HR IN THIS REGION. EARLIER SMALL COMPLEX OVER W
CENT/S CENT AR FORTUNATELY DRIFTED SOUTHEASTWARD AND DID NOT STALL OUT
UNTIL OK ACTIVITY APPROACHED. HOWEVER, RECENT RADAR IMAGES DO SEEM TO
SHOW RENEWED CELL DEVELOPMENT AROUND GRANT/SALINE COUNTIES WHICH MAY
QUICKLY BECOME A CONCERN WITH THE APPROACH OF THE LINE FROM THE NW.
