SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THOUGH THE CENTER IS NOW COMPLETELY
OVERLAND CROSSING WILLACY COUNTY..STLT AND RADAR IMAGERY STILL SHOW
A WELL DEFINED EYE TO THE STORM MOVING VERY SLOWLY TO THE W. CURRENT
ESTIMATE OF EYE DIAMETER IS ABOUT 25KM PER VIS/IR STLT. IR HAS SHOWN A
RAPID WARMING TREND OF THE MAIN BAND SITUATED ALONG THE RIO GRANDE THOUGH
ALONG WITH SOME WARMING OCCURRING WITHIN THE EYEWALL..THOUGH NOT AT AS
FAST OF A WARMING RATE. HOWEVER ON THE S/SE SIDE OF THE EYEWALL VIS AND
IR SHOW NEW CELLS FIRING WITH GROWTH ABOVE THE CIRRUS TOP IN 2345/0015Z
IMAGES. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES FOR THE 6 HR PERIOD ENDING 2345Z SHOW A
MAX OF 5.5" OVER CAMERON COUNTY N OF BRO. AXIS OF MAX RAINFALL EXTENDS
FROM THERE NWWD INTO W WILLACY/E HIDALGO/SW KENEDY COUNTIES. GIVEN THE
EXTREMELY DEEP MOISTURE AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM AS IT HAS MOVED
INLAND THOUGH..THESE ESTIMATES COULD STILL BE UNDERDONE BY 1-2" WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. 00Z CRP RAOB SHOWED UNIDIRECTIONAL ERLY FLOW
THROUGHOUT NRLY THE ENTIRE SOUNDING WITH A PW OF 2.34" N OF DOLLY'S
CENTER. WITH 50KTS OF 850MB FLOW STILL PULLING IN SUCH DEEP MOISTURE
WHICH OFFSHORE COULD STILL BE HIGHER THAN 2.3" PW'S..WRAPPING IT DOWN
INTO S TX THE FF/FLOOD THREAT WILL STILL CONTINUE FOR MOST THE AREA.
.
JUST IN 0015Z IMAGES SHOWED RAPID CLOUD TOP WARMING OCCURRED ON N SIDE
OF THE EYE BETWEEN 2345 AND 0015Z BUT VIS SHOWS THE NEW CELLS FORMING
ON THE SE SIDE OF THE EYEWALL ARE BEGINNING TO WRAP AROUND THE ENTIRE
ERN PART TO THE NE CORNER NOW PRODUCING HVY RAINS ON THE BACKSIDE OF
