EVENT...PACIFIC-MOISTURE ADDING TO HVY PRECIP GENERATION MS-AL THRU THE
S AND C APPALACHIANS...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...GLOBAL BIG PICTURE SHOWED THAT A WELL
TAPPED E PACIFIC MOISTURE PLUME WAS WELL ESTABLISHED AND CONTRIBUTING
HIGHLY TO ALREADY DEEP MOISTURE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IN CENTRAL GULF AND
IN INTO MS...AL AND INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. SWLY FLOW ALIGNED
WITH DEEP MOISTURE THAT WAS WELL OVER 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL AND IN SOME
CASES OVER 250 PERCENT OF NORMAL WITH A 3+ STANDARD DEV ABOVE CLIMO WAS
PROVIDING VERY GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT TO RAPID BUT REPEAT CELLS ACROSS
MS THAT HAS SHIFTED MORE INTO ALABAMA'S W CENTRAL TO NORTHERN AND NOW
ESTABLISHING C AND MORE IMPORTANTLY E TN NORTHEAST INTO E KY AS AREAS OF
CONCERN FOR NEXT 3-6HRS. NEXT 6HRS WILL SEE 1"+ VALUES IN A 6HR PERIOD E
TN THRU E KY INTO S WV AND SW VIRGINIA AS VARIOUS RIPPLES ALONG CONVEYOR
BELT LIFT NORTH AND NE THRU THE MIDWEST AND W OHIO VALLEY AND KICKER VORT
N CENTRAL TX KEEP FRONTAL BAND BASICALLY MOVING EAST. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR...SEE SATELLITE ANALYSIS GRAPHIC ON HOME PAGE AT ADDRESS BELOW...
PLEASE NOTE...WILL ALSO SEND 3HR HYDROESTIMATES THRU 2245Z THAT HAS A
MAX AMOUNT OF 1.2-1.9" IN SE TN.
