EVENT...SLOW MOVING TSTMS NOW SHOWING RECENT CLOUD TOP COOLING
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...A CLUSTER OF TSTMS MOVING ESE ACROSS S
AR APPEAR TO BE INTENSIFYING BASED ON COOLING OF CLOUD TOP TEMPS IN THE
LAST HR.  CLOUD TOPS HAVE COOLED TO AROUND -60C OVER N UNION COUNTY AND
THIS MAY BE AS A RESULT OF SEVERAL OF THE TSTMS CELLS MERGING DURING
THAT TIME PERIOD.  RAIN RATES ARE ESTIMATED TO BETWEEN 0.75-1.0"/HR AS
PW VALUES ACROSS THIS AREA ARE OBSERVED IN GOES SOUNDER DATA TO BE NEAR
1.7-1.8".  HVY RAINS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE AS STORMS SLOWLY CONTINUE
TO MOVE TO THE ESE OVER THE NEXT 60-90 MINS.  ADDITIONAL TSTMS ARE SEEN
FURTHER TO THE N ACROSS C-EASTERN OK/W-CENTRAL AR..BUT ATTM THESE STORMS
MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WILL PASS BY TO THE NORTH OF UNION COUNTY.
