SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...GOES IMAGERY HAS BEEN SHOWING SLOW
MOVING THUNDERSTORM CELLS OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS.  FIRST IMAGE FROM
OUTAGE IS 1815Z...SO ESTIMATES ARE FROM 1815Z-1945Z.  HEAVIEST TOTALS
ARE IN GILES COUNTY WITH 2.5" IN THE 1.5 HOUR TIME FRAME GIVEN CLOUD
TOP TEMPS CONSISTENTLY RUNNING BETWEEN -62C AND -68C AND OVERSHOOTING
TOPS SEEN IN THE 1945Z VIS IMAGE.  ALSO NOTICING VERY RAPIDLY COOLING
CELL OVER HARDIN/CHESTER/HENDERSON COUNTIES BETWEEN 1915Z AND 1945Z.
THINKING SOME AREAS UNDER THE CELL COULD HAVE SEEN 1.0-1.5" OVER THAT
30 MIN TIME FRAME WITH RATES LIKELY TO REMAIN IN THE 1.5"-2.5"/HR RANGE
AT TIMES GIVEN LIKELY SLOW MOTION OF CELL.

OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS SRN TN/ AND NRN AL/MS...GIVEN PW VALUES
AROUND 1.6" PER 18Z OBS/MODEL SOUNDINGS AND SLOWER PACED MOTIONS OF
CELLS LEADING TO MERGERS PLUS ABILITY OF CELLS TO REACH THE EL GIVEN
CURRENT CELL ACTIVITY DOING SO...EXPECTING RATES TO RANGE FROM 1.0"/HR
TO 2.5"/HR IN THE MOST INTENSE CORES LIKELY UNDER CELL MERGERS AND VERY
SLOW MOVING CELLS.
