.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...COOLING CLOUD TOPS ARE SEEN ALONG ONE OF
TS FAY'S OUTER BANDS THAT CROSSES S FL BETWEEN APF AND PGD WITH THE NRN
EDGE OF THE BAND OVER THE FMY AREA. SFC WINDS SHOW GOOD INFLOW FEEDING
MOISTURE FROM THE ERN GULF ACROSS FL NEWD INTO FAY'S CENTER. OBJECTIVE
ANALYSIS HAS INDICATED STRENGTHENING SFC MOISTURE CNVG FROM THE FMY
AREA TO JUST NW OF LK OKEECHOBEE. WHILE SWRLY SFC-850MB FLOW OVER SRN
FL IS PRODUCING NEW CELLS AND MERGERS ALONG THE MAIN OUTER BAND..IT
APPEARS THAT A NEW BAND IS ALSO STARTING TO SETUP IN WNWRLY FLOW N OF
THAT ONE FROM THE TPA AREA TO JUST NW OF THE LK ARCING THEN ENEWD TO
THE ERN SHORE OF FL NR VRB..THOUGH THIS BAND WILL DVLP IN THE NEXT FEW
HRS. CURRENT OUTER BAND IS OF CONCERN DUE TO THE W-E TRAINING OF CELLS
AND THE MERGERS OCCURRING..MOSTLY OVER COLLIER COUNTY. WITH SUCH DEEP
MOISTURE IN PLACE INDICATED BY SSMI PASS AT 2.6" JUST W OF FMY AT 1230Z
AND DWPTS IN THE MID 70'S..AS HIGH OVER SW FL AS NEAR THE EYEWALL OVER
NE FL..EXPECT RAINRATES OF 1-2"/HR SHOULD CONTINUE WITH ISOLATED RATES
TO 2.5"/HR POSSIBLE WHERE MERGERS OCCUR. PLEASE SEE WEB ADDRESS IN ABOUT
10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC ANALYSIS.
