EVENT...BACKBUILDING OF TSTMS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TSTMS HAVE BACKBUILT ALONG THE TAIL
OF LINEAR MCS..AS OUTFLOW FM SECOND MCS ALONG THE SW TX/MX BORDER HAS
MERGED WITH THE LINEAR MCS. EXPANSION OF CONVECTIVE TOPS..ALONG WITH
RAPID CLOUD TOP COOLING AND OVERSHOOTING TOPS..IS AFFECTING CROCKETT
COUNTY AND THE TERRELL/VAL VERDE COUNTY BORDER AREA. SFC DATA SHOWS
THIS BACKBUILDING LINE IS MOVG SEWD INTO INCREASINGLY HIGHER TEMPS AND
DEW POINTS..AS WELL DECENT SFC CONVERGENCE. THUS WOULD EXPECT THE STMS
TO AT LEAST MAINTAIN INTENSITY IF NOT INCREASE FURTHER OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HRS. MOVEMENT OF THE LINE IS THUS FAR PRECLUDING PROLONGED
HVY AMOUNTS. HOWEVER..WITH THE INTENSIFICATION AND CELL MERGERS OVER
THE PAST HALF HOUR..MANUAL STLT ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT BTWN 0.5-1"
HAS FALLEN FOR THE HALF HR ENDING 2245Z.
