EVENT...HVY RAINS MOVING SSEWD ACROSS TX PANHANDLE
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LINE OF TSTMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HVY
RAINS IS MOVING SSEWD OUT OF NE NM AND INTO W-CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE.  RECENT CELL MERGERS ALONG THIS CONVECTIVE LINE HAVE
BEEN OBSERVED IN VIS AND IR IMAGERY OVER THE PAST HR AND LIKELY HAVE
CONTRIBUTED TO INCREASED RAINFALL RATES OF 1.5-2.0"/HR.
.
PROFILER DATA INDICATES 85H WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO 30 KTS FROM THE SSE
ACROSS THE PANHANDLE ALLOWING FOR GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT OF 1.2-1.3"
PW VALUES INTO THIS REGION.  CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE GENERALLY AROUND -65C
WITH -67C OVERSHOOTING TOP SEEN OVER NW OLDHAM CO.  IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
1-2" OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD FALL OVER OLDHAM/DEAF SMITH/PARMER/
CASTRO/RANDALL/SW POTTER COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT 60-90 MINS AS THIS LINE
OF STORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE TO THE SSE.
