SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR IMAGERY SHOWS TO COLD TOP CLUSTERS
OF RAPIDLY COOLING CELLS OVER W TX. ONE IS SEEN FROM CENTRAL JEFF DAVIS
COUNTY ALONG THE REEVES/PECOS COUNTY BORDER AND IS BUILDING TO THE SW
WHILE THE OTHER CLUSTER IS SITUATED OVER THE US/MX BORDER ABOUT 175 MILES
SW OF KE38. CELLS IN JEFF DAVIS/PECOS/REEVES HAVE CLOUD TOPS OF -62C
WHILE THE ONES ACROSS THE BORDER ARE AT -60C AND COOLING. DRYLINE EXTENDS
SWWD FROM THE TAIL END OF THE COLD FRNT OVER THE NRN TX PANHANDLE JUST
INTO SE NM AND THEN SSWWD ACROSS W TX BETWEEN KPEQ AND KGDP. DWPTS E OF
THE DRYLINE ARE IN THE 50S AND GOES SOUNDER/GPS VALUES INDICATE PW'S OF
1-1.2" IMMEDIATELY E OF THE DRYLINE WHILE VALUES DROP SHARPLY TO UNDER
0.8" W OF IT. GOES STLT WINDS AND SFC WINDS ARE BOTH FROM THE SW WHICH
SHOULD ALLOW FOR BACKBUILDING OF CELLS AND SFC WINDS ARE VERY LIGHT. ALSO
SMALL AREA OF UPPER DIFFLUENCE IS SEEN IN UPPER WIND FIELD PER STLT WINDS
OVER THE CURRENT W TX CELLS. VIS SHOWS THE SW END OF OF THE CLUSTER OVER
JEFF DAVIS DVLPG NEW CELLS ON ITS SWRN EDGE CURRENTLY AND THAT WILL
BE WHERE HEAVIEST RAINS WILL OCCUR. ALSO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME NEW
CELLS INITIATE ALONG THE DRYLINE TO THE SW THAT WILL BECOME PART OF THE
GROWING CLUSTER. FFG IS FAIRLY HIGH BUT BACKBUILDING STORMS OVER JEFF
DAVIS TRYING TO BUILD INTO N PRESIDIO/N BREWSTER WILL CERTAINLY ALLOW FOR
HVY RAINS IF THEY ARE OVER THE SAME AREA. MANUEL ESTIMATES GIVE RAINFALL
RATES BETWEEN 0.5"-0.75"/HR DURING THE PREVIOUS HR AND SHOULD CONTINUE.
