EVENT...STATIONARY CONVECTIVE CELL PRODUCING VERY HVY RAINS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...FOR ALMOST 2 HRS NOW (SINCE 2310Z)STRONG
TSTMS HAVE REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARLY ACROSS N-CENTRAL NE.  THESE STORMS
DEVELOPED OFF OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND ARE LIKELY ALSO BEING ENHANCED
BY A MID-LVL S/WV SEEN IN WV MOVING SLOWLY EWD ACROSS NW NE/SE SD.
HEAVIEST RAINS APPEAR TO BE LOCATED NEAR AN OVERSHOOTING TOP WITH -62C
CLOUD TOP TEMP OVER SE THOMAS/SW BLAINE COUNTIES.  00Z RAOB INDICATED EL
WAS AT -54C AT LBF SO THESE STORMS ARE WELL ABOVE THAT.  BASED ON THE
CLOUD TOP TEMPS AND NEARLY STATIONARY MOVEMENT OF THIS PARTICULAR CELL
OVER SETHOMAS/SW BLAINE COUNTIES..STLT ESTIMATES SUGGEST RAINFALL RATES
OF 1.0-1.25"/HR.  IT IS POSSIBLE THAT 2.0" MAY HAVE ALREADY HAVE FALLEN
IN THE LAST 2 HRS.  IF CELL CONTINUES TO REMAIN STATIONARY..EXPECT HVY
RAINS TO CONTINUE FOR POSSIBLY THE NEXT 30-60 MINS.
