SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...AN OUTFLOW BNDRY IS SEEN IN RECENT VIS
IMAGERY WITH NUMEROUS STORMS MOVING ALONG IT RACING QUICKLY TWDS THE MX/NM
BORDER WITH THE ERN END OF THE OUTFLOW POSITIONED VERY NR ELP. SEVERAL
OVERSHOOTING TOPS ARE SEEN ALONG THIS LINE IN VIS IMAGERY ALONG WITH
NUMEROUS OTHER EXPANDING CELLS ALONG/JUST S OF THE US BORDER IN SW NM AND
EXTREME SERN AZ. A LARGE CLUSTER OF CELLS IS ALREADY IN PLACE OVER PARTS
OF HIDALGO/GRANT/SIERRA COUNTIES EXPANDING INTO GREENLEE/GRAHAM/COCHISE
COUNTIES IN AZ AND ANOTHER SMALL CLUSTER TO -67C IS PRESENT OVER SW
SOCORRO. WITH FAST NWD MOVEMENT OF OUTFLOW AND CELLS ALONG IT..A MERGER
IS BECOMING MORE LIKELY NEAR AND PERHAPS WSW OF KDMN. 00Z PW ANALYSIS
FROM RAOBS SHOWED NEAR 1.6" PW VALUES AT BOTH EPZ AND TUS INDICATING
THAT THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE FOR THESE STORMS TO
FEED OFF OF. CIRA TPW COMPOSITE INDICATED 160-170% OF NORMAL VALUES OVER
SWRN/CENTRAL/E CENTRAL NM WHICH COULD ALLOW FOR RAINRATES OF 0.6-1"/HR
WITH RATES 1-1.5" POSSIBLE DURING EXPECTED MERGER. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR
