SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WV LOOP SHOWS A WEAK SUBTLE TROF ACROSS
SE AZ INTO S NM THAT HAS AIDED CONVECTION TO MAINTAIN ITSELF AS IT MOVES
OFF HIGHER ELEVATIONS.  MODERATE SFC AND 850 FLOW FROM SSE IS LEADING
TO GOOD DEEP CONVERGENCE AND MST FLUX OF .9 TO 1.1" PWS PER GOES-W AND
GOES-E SOUNDERS. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE FROM SSWLY
FLOW ALOFT SHOWS GOOD BULLSEYE OVER SW NM...HINTING AT CONTINUED UPSTREAM
DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER N DONA ANA COUNTY.  TOPS HAVE
BEEN REACHING THE -55C RANGE AND DUE TO CONTINUED REDEVELOPMENT ALONG
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND SUBSEQUENT MOVEMENT TOWARD THE NNE THERE HAS BEEN
SOME TRAINING AND LOCALIZED ESTIMATES IN THE 1-1.25" RANGE IN THE LAST
HOUR ALONG THE N COUNTY LINE.  THOUGH MOST CELLS TEND TO BE MORE PULSE
IN NATURE...CONTINUED SUPPORT MAY LEAD TO A LARGER COMPLEX TO DEVELOP
FROM SW NM TO E CENTRAL NM OVER THE COMING HOURS WHICH COULD LEAD TO
TRAINING AND LOCALIZE TOTALS EXCEEDING FFG VALUES.
