EVENT...STATIONARY CONVECTION CONTINUES NEAR RICHMOND AND SCOTLAND
COUNTIES....3-5" ESTIMATED
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SLOW MOVING TO STATIONARY CONVECTION
CONTINUES OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL NC COUNTIES OF RICHMOND AND SCOTLAND
COUNTIES.  ALTHOUGH CLOUD TOPS HAVE APPEARED TO WARM OVER THE LAST 30-60
MINUTES, THERE IS STILL A PERSISTENT WEDGE TYPE FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED
OVERSHOOTING TOP THAT HAS MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD AND WAS MOST RECENTLY
CENTERED OVER N RICHMOND COUNTY.  MOISTURE IS OBVIOUSLY PLENTIFUL OVER
THE REGION WITH GOES SOUNDER ESTIMATED PRECIPITABLE WATERS OF 1.80" SO
WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT RAINFALL RATES OF AT LEAST 2.0"/HR ARE POSSIBLE IN
THE SLOWEST MOVING AND MOST INTENSE CORES.  AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES
SUGGEST THAT BETWEEN 3-5" OF RAIN HAS FELL OVER THE LAST 6 HOURS FROM
SW MONTGOMERY TO E ANSON COUNTIES.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
