SATELLITE PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES..DATE/TIME 07/11/08 0925Z
SATELLITE ANALYSIS BRANCH/NESDIS---NPPU---TEL.301-763-8678
LATEST DATA USED: GOES-EAST:0915Z  JS
.
LOCATION...WISCONSIN...
.
EVENT...MCS FINALLY MERGING WITH PERSISTENT CONVECTION
WHICH AFFECTED W CENT TO S CENT WI FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT.
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATES
FOR THE PAST 6 HOURS ARE SHOWING A SWATH OF 2-4 INCH TOTALS
ACROSS APPROXIMATE AREA STRETCHING FROM JACKSON TO SAUK/DANE
COUNTIES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER EMBEDDED AMOUNTS. GIVEN THE
PERSISTENCE OF THIS ACTIVITY CERTAINLY BELIEVE MAX TOTALS OF 4-6
INCHES ARE LIKELY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF GREATER THAN 6 INCH
AMOUNTS. SOME OF THOSE TOTALS COULD RISE EVEN HIGHER DURING
THE NEXT HOUR OR SO AS MCS IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF MERGING
WITH AREA OUT AHEAD. LIGHTNING DETECTION NETWORK AND IR
IMAGERY SHOW THE MOST ACTIVE CELLS RIGHT NOW ARE OVER SAUK/
DANE COUNTIES WITH SATELLITE ESTIMATED RATES NEAR OR JUST OVER
1.5 INCHES/HR. THE 0915Z GOES-EAST IMAGE ALONG WITH COMPOSITE
RADAR REFLECTIVITY DATA DO INDICATE SOME NEW CELLS POPPING
UP ONCE AGAIN OVER COUNTIES SUCH AS EAU CLAIRE/JACKSON/CLARK/
MONROE SO SOME ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OVER MOST OF THE ALREADY
AFFECTED REGION SEEMS LIKELY DURING THE NEXT HOUR.
