SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CURRENTLY TRACKING A N-S ORIENTED
CONVECTIVE LINE MOVING S TO N ACROSS RI/E MA/AND EXTENDING INTO SE NH FROM
LATEST VIS STLT LOOP.  SINCE STORM CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE RELATIVELY WARM
(-37C TO -47C)..LINE IS BEING BEST PICKED UP IN VIS.  OVER THE LAST 30
MINS LINE APPEARS TO HAVE INTENSIFIED AS CLOUD TEXTURE HAS BECOME MORE
DEFINED IN VIS IMAGERY.  SOME PARTIAL CLEARING OUT AHEAD OF THIS LINE
(MAINLY ACROSS E MA/SE NH) MAY LEAD TO SOME ADDITIONAL INSTABILITY.
STORMS WITHIN THIS LINE MAY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HVY RAINS IN A
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH RAIN RATES REACHING UPWARDS OF 1.0"/30-40 MINS.
