SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WELL DEFINED CONVECTIVE BAND OBSERVED IN
BOTH STLT AND RADAR HAS BEEN PRODUCING VERY HVY RAINS OVER PORTIONS OF
TERRELL COUNTY IN SW TX FOR THE PAST SEVERAL HRS.  LATEST VIS IMAGERY
SUGGESTS BAND IS BEGINNING TO PROPAGATE SLIGHTLY MORE NWD FROM ITS
CURRENT POSITION AND WITH THAT PLACING SOME OF THE HEAVIEST RAINS ACROSS
PECOS COUNTY.  UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE SSE-NNW ORIENTATION OF THIS
BAND TERRELL COUNTY WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE HVY RAINFALL OVER THE
NEXT FEW HRS AS THE SFC LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF DOLLY IS
ONLY VERY SLOWLY MOVING WWD.
.
STLT ESTIMATED RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR THE PAST 1-HR SHOW 1.2" MAX OVER
S-CENTRAL PECOS COUNTY WITH LARGER MAX OF 1.5" S OF TERRELL COUNTY..BUT
THINK THAT AUTOMATED ESTIMATES ARE SLIGHTLY DISPLACED TOO FAR TO THE SOUTH
WITH THAT 1.5".  RAIN RATES ARE LIKELY NEAR 1.25-1.5"/HR IN THE CORE OF
THIS RAIN BAND AND ADDITIONAL 2-3" ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS.
