EVENT...REGENERATING CONVECTION OVER VAN ZANDT/HENDERSON COUNTIES.
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES ARE
SHOWING UP TO 3" ACROSS PORTIONS OF HENDERSON/VAN ZANDT COUNTIES OF NE
TX WITH A SMALLER PATCH OF CLOUD TOPS ENHANCING ONCE AGAIN OVER THOSE
COUNTIES DURING THE PAST HALF HOUR TO HOUR. SATELLITE ESTIMATED RATES
ARE CURRENTLY IN THE 1.5"-2.0"/HR RANGE BASED ON AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND
CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES. ANALYSIS SHOWS ACTIVITY OCCURRING ON SW FLANK OF
OLD MCS/MCV WHICH OVERALL HAS WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE EXCEPTION
OF THIS RATHER LOCALIZED SPOT. ENHANCEMENT IS LIKELY DUE TO WESTERLY
OR SOUTHWESTERLY LOWER LEVEL INFLOW OVERRUNNING COLD POOL/OUTFLOW FROM
ORIGINAL MCS. NOT REAL SURE HOW LONG THIS ACTIVITY OVER HENDERSON/VAN
ZANDT COUNTIES IS GOING TO PERSIST BUT CERTAINLY BELIEVE IT SHOULD LAST
ANOTHER HALF HOUR TO HOUR AT LEAST.
