SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR IAMGERY SHOWS SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF
COLD TOP CELLS OVER PARTS OF W TX AND SRN NM. ONE OVER NE OTERO COUNTY
HAS STARTED TO WARM SLIGHTLY BUT NEW CELLS ARE FORMING W OF IT OVER
SOCORRO/LINCOLN/SIERRA/LUNA/DONA ANA COUNTIES. 21Z IR IMAGE ALSO SHOWS
ANOTHER COLD TOP CELL THAT HAS STRENGTHENED OVER THE TX/NM BORDER JUST
NE OF ELP AND CURRENTLY HAS CLOUD TOPS OF -69C EXPANDING TO THE N ACROSS
SRN OTERO. 3 HR STLT ESTIMATES SHOWED AMOUNTS OF UP TO 2.2" OVER CENTRAL
OTERO COUNTY AND ADDTL RAINFALL FROM THESE NEW CELLS WILL BE MOVING NWD
OVER THE SAME AREA IN THE NEXT HR OR SO. WITH DWPTS IN THE LOW – MID 6OS
OVER SRN NM/W TX AND 12Z RAOBS SHOWING A PW VALUE OF 1.70" AT EPZ..EXPECT
RAINFALL RATES OF 1-1.5"/HR MAY BE OCCURRING. PER OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS..S
CENTRAL NM APPEARS TO BE ON THE NOSE OF A THETA-E AXIS THAT EXTENDS NWD
TO THE NE CORNER OF THE STATE. STLT WINDS SHOW SLIGHTLY DVG UPPER LVL
FLOW OVER E CENTRAL NM WHICH SHOULD HELP TO SUPPORT STORM ACTIVITY FROM
S CENTRAL NM TO E CENTRAL/NE NM DURING THE EVENING HRS AND POSSIBLY INTO
