.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST IR ANIMATION SHOWS EDGE OF
COLDER-TOP CLOUD SHIELD (-66C) IS SURGING NNWWD ACROSS W GOMEX AND IS
APPROX 21 KM S OF HRL.  THERE IS PLENTY OF MOISTURE FOR THIS AREA OF
CONVECTION TO FEED OFF OF WITH PW VALUES AOA 2.0" ACROSS MOST OF DEEP S
TX PER STLT AND GPS NETWORK.  OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF UPPER-LVL DIVERGENCE
FROM EXPERIMENTAL STLT WIND PRODUCT INDICATES RELATIVE MAX DIVERGENCE OF
30 UNITS LOCATED ALONG THE DEEP S TX/MEXICO BORDER WHICH SHOULD LIKELY
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ENHANCED VERTICAL MOTIONS.  THIS CONDITIONS ALNOG
WITH THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE CONVECTION FAVORS A  SCENARIO OF
HVY TO VERY HVY RAINS ACROSS CAMERON/WILLACY/HIDALGO/STARR/ ZAPATA/JIM
HOGG/BROOKS/KENEDY COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS.  STLT ESTIMATED
RAINFALL RATES SUGGEST RATES MAY LIKELY REACH UPWARDS OF 1.0-1.5"/HR.
