SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST IR IMAGERY SHOWS LARGE AREAL
COVERAGE OF CLOUD TOPS BELOW -62 DEGREES C ALONG THE US/MEXICO BORDER
NEAR KDLF. FIRST VIS IMAGERY OF THE MORNING SHOWS NEWER CONVECTION WITH
OVERSHOOTING TOPS TO BE OCCURRING SOUTH OF THE BORDER... EXPERIMENTAL
SATELLITE OVERSHOOTING TOP ALGORITHM ALSO  DETECTS THE MOST RAPID CLOUD
TOP COOLING OCCURRING IN THESE AREAS. FURTHER TO THE NORTH... WAVE CLOUDS
ARE SEEN RADIATING OUTWARD  FROM MORE ACTIVE CONVECTION IN UVALDE, KINNEY
AND MAVERICK COUNTIES WHERE CLOUD TOPS HAVE SLIGHTLY MORE TEXTURE. MANUAL
SATELLITE ESTIMATES SUGGEST 1-2"/HR RATES IN THESE AREAS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN BURSTS. IN GENERAL COLDEST CLOUD TOPS HAVE SLOWLY
SHIFTED SOUTHEASTWARD OVER LAST FEW HOURS AND THE EXPANSE OF THE ANVIL
TOP APPEARS TO BE DECREASING.
.
SHORT TERM OUTLOOK VALID 1345-1645Z...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FACTOR
IN SHORT TERM OUTLOOK...HEAVY RAIN THREAT FOR SOUTH TEXAS WHERE MCS
CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD. MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND HIGH
TPW (1.75-2.0") LIKELY TO SUSTAIN THE MCS BUT EXPECT SLIGHTLY WEAKENED
INFLOW THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO SLOWLY DECREASE RAIN RATES. 1-2"/HR RATES
EXPECTED IN MOST ACTIVE AREAS... ESPECIALLY UVALDE, REAL, MAVERICK AND
ZAVALA COUNTIES.
