EVENT...W-E LINE OF CONVECTION SLOWLY DRIFTING SSEWD
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THE HEAVIEST RAINS ALONG THIS W-E LINE
OF CONVECTION ACROSS OK/AR/TN HAS BEEN RELATIVELY CONFINED TO A NARROW
SWATH FROM ABOUT SLN/OK THRU RUE/AR AND TO ABOUT MKL/TN THE PAST FEW HRS.
BASED ON STLT AND RADAR OVER THE PAST 1-2 HRS THE CONVECTION AND HVY
RAINS HAVE BEEN DRIFTING EVER SO SLOWLY TO THE SSE.  PW VALUES FROM THE
GOES SOUNDER ACTUALLY INDICATE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN PWS ACROSS S OK/S
AR AND NORTHERN MS (1.8-2.05").
.
THERE HAS BEEN THREE MAIN AREAS OF CONCENTRATED HVY RAINFALL ALONG
THIS LINE OF CONVECTION..ONE OVER CENTRAL OK (MAX 3-HR RAINFALL AMT
OF 2.1" IN OKFUSKEE COUNTY)..THE SECOND ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL
AR (3.1" IN CONWAY COUNTY IN PAST 3-HRS)..AND THE THIRD OVER W TN
(2.6" INVOF TIPTON COUNTY PAST 3-HRS).  THE STORMS ACROSS TN APPEAR
TO WEAKENING AS CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE SEEN WARMING IN IR OVER THE PAST
30-60 MINS..HOWEVER RAINFALL RATES OF 0.50-1.0"/HR MAY STILL BE POSSIBLE
AS THE LINE BEGINS TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF MS/AL.  THE MOST
IMPRESSIVE AREA HAS BEEN THE ONE ACROSS W-C AR WHERE CLOUD TOP TEMPS
REMAIN COLD (-72C TO -74C).  HVY RAINS ARE NOW MOVING INTO SCOTT/POLK/
MONTGOMERY/GARLAND/SALINE/PULASKI COUNTIES..WHERE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
1.0-2.0" ARE LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 2 HRS.  HVY RAINS ACROSS CENTRAL OK DO
NOT APPEAR TO BE DRIFTING AS FAR SOUTH AS MUCH AS THE OTHER TWO AREAS
AT THIS TIME..SO CURRENT THINKING IS HVY RAINS SHOULD CONTINUE TO FALL
BETWEEN SNL/PVJ/MLC/OKM FOR THE NEXT 1-2 HRS BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE SSE.
