.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONVECTIVE BOUNDARIES TO WATCH MORE
CAREFULLY ARE ONES THAT PRODUCE MULTIPLE HVY RAIN BURSTS AND MORE
LIKELY FF THREAT NEXT FEW HRS.  THEY INCLUDE THE INTERSECTING BOUNDARIES
LUZERNE TO UNION COUNTY IN NE PA.  SPLIT BOUNDARY NEAR PA-NJ BORDER NEAR
MONROE-NORTHAMPTON (PA)-WARREN (NJ) COUNTY BORDER MERGING TOGETHER AND
EXTENDING ACROSS NW AND N CENTRAL NJ THAT MAY BE FURTHER ENHANCED EAST NE
TO EXT NE NJ AND INTERIOR SE NY JUST NORTH OF KNYC.  THIS MAY CONTINUE
TO SPREAD ENE PAST 21Z AND INCR FF THREAT FOR N CT THEN AS CELLS RIGHT
NOW CONTINUE TO INCREASE ON THEIR OWN IN N CT.
CONVECTIVE CELL MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY ACROSS E LI...SO MOST LIKELY
ONLY ISOLATED HVY RAIN WITH THAT AS IT CONTINUES MOVE EAST TO THE TIP.
OTHER AREA IS CONVECTIVE BAND WITH AN EXTENSION FROM E LI CONVECTIVE CELL
AND EXTENDS ACROSS SE CT TO E CENTRAL MA JUST SOUTH OF KBOS.   THIS AREA
COULD SEE ENOUGH HVY RAIN BURSTS NEXT FEW HRS TO HEIGHTEN ISOLATED FF
