.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...A N-S ORIENTED LINE OF CONVECTION
STRETCHING FROM QUAY/CURRY/ROOSEVELT/LEA COUNTIES IN E NM IS SLOWLY
BEGINNING TO PUSH INTO PORTIONS OF NW TX.  AREAS TO BE OF CONCERN FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF VERY HVY RAINS OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS ARE..DEAF SMITH/
PARMER/BAILEY/COCHRAN/LAMB/CASTRO COUNTIES.  1-HR AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES
INDICATE 1.2" HAVE LIKELY FALLEN ACROSS CURRY/ROOSEVELT COUNTIES IN NM
SINCE 23Z FROM THIS LINE.  VIS/IR IMAGERY DOES SHOW THAT CELL MERGERS
DID OCCUR OVER THESE COUNTIES LIKELY RESULTING IN THE HVY 1-HR RAINFALL
AMOUNTS AND NOW THAT THE MERGERS ARE COMPLETED RAINFALL RATES MAY BE
SLIGHTLY LESS THAN BEFORE.  HOWEVER..DO STILL EXPECTED CELLS ARE CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING NEAR 1.0"/HR RAIN RATES AS THEY MOVE INTO NW TX..WHERE PW
VALUES ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER (AROUND 1.6-1.7" PER GOES SOUNDER).
