SATELLITE PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES..DATE/TIME 05/26/13 0009Z
SATELLITE ANALYSIS BRANCH/NESDIS---NPPU---TEL.301-683-1404
LATEST DATA USED: GOES-14: 2345ZBELGE
.
LOCATION...TEXAS...

ATTN WFOS...HGX...CRP...EWX...BRO...
ATTN RFCS...WGRFC...
.
EVENT...QUASI-STATIONARY CONVECTION CONTINUES ACROSS SRN TX..
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TRAINING CELLS HAVE HELD UP ACROSS
VICTORIA/GOLIAD AND NRN REFUGIO COUNTIES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING HRS. OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM EARLIER MCS AS SEEN ON VIS IMAGERY, LIKELY
LED TO TO SUSTAINING THIS CONVECTION ALONG WITH 850 THETA-E RIDGE AXIS
SET UP RIGHT OVER THE REGION. ADDITIONALLY, LL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
AXIS HAVE REMAINED ACROSS THIS AREA WITH SRLY FLOW PUMPING IN PWATS OF
AROUND 1.8". SINCE CELLS HAVE REMAINED QUASI-STATIONARY IN NATURE WITH
ALMOST CONSTANT UPWIND REDEVELOPMENT, LOCAL ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE WELL
SATURATED MAKING RAINFALL RATES EXTREMELY EFFICIENT ATTM.
.
SHORT TERM OUTLOOK VALID 0015-0313Z...MEDIUM-LOW CONFIDENCE FACTOR
IN SHORT TERM OUTLOOK...THIS SMALL SCALE AREA OF TRAINING CELLS ACROSS
THE REGION SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH SUNSET AND THEN START TO WAIN. HAVE
ALREADY NOTED SOME SLIGHT WARMING OF CLOUD TOP TEMPS AND A DECREASE IN
LIGHTNING ACTIVITY WITHIN THESE CELLS. STILL, COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL 2-3"
POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS ACROSS VICTORIA/GOLIAD/REFUGIO COUNTIES
BEFORE CELLS SHOULD START TO WEAKEN AND GRADUALLY LIFT MORE TO THE NORTH.
