ONE CENTERED OVER SE COCONIO COUNTY/AZ (DRIFTING SEWD)..AND THE SECOND
OVER N SOCORRO COUNTY IN NM.  TONGUE OF HIGHER PW VALUES ARE BEGINNING
TO SURGE SLOWLY NEWD INTO S AZ (1.9-2.0" VALUES)..WHICH POTENTIALLY WILL
HELP PROVIDE ENOUGH LLVL MOISTURE FOR THE CONVECTION TO FEED OFF OF AND
CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MOD/HVY RAINS ACROSS THIS DISCUSSION AREA.

IN IR IMAGERY AS CLOUD TOP TEMPS HAVE DROPPED BELOW -62C FROM CONVECTION
