EVENT...CONVECTIVE MERGER OVER HARPER COUNTY
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SMALL CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER HARPER
COUNTY HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY FOR THE LAST HOUR.  HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE
CONVECTIVE CELLS MERGE INTO THIS COMPLEX WITH THE LAST ONE OVER THE
LAST 15 MINUTES.  VERY PRONOUNCED ENHANCED-V SIGNATURE WITH UPWIND
OVERSHOOTING TOP IN THE VIC OF SELMAN WOULD SUGGEST THAT RAINFALL RATES
ARE LIKELY RUNNING IN THE 1.0-2.0"/HR RANGE.  0Z UA ANALYSIS DOES SHOW
A SLIGHTLY DIFFLUENT THICKNESS PATTERN OVER THE DISCUSSION AREA AND THIS
IMPLIES THAT THERE MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL UPWIND CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
TOWARDS THICKNESS DIFFLUENCE TO HELP OFFSET OVERALL SYSTEM MOVEMENT.
AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES SUGGEST RAINFALL TOTALS OF OVER 2.0" IN
E HARPER COUNTY AND BELIEVE AN ADDITIONAL 1.0-2.0" IS POSSIBLE OVER THE
NEXT HOUR.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
