SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...AUTOMATED SATELLITE TECHNIQUES CONTINUES
TO PREFORM FAIRLY WELL WITH 24HR TOTALS THROUGH 12Z UP AROUND 8-9" ACROSS
C HARRIS COUNTY AND 6-8" ACROSS NW JEFFERSON TO W CALCASIEU PARISH AND
E BRAZORIA.  TOTALS OFFSHORE SHOWED MAXIMA OVER 12" WITH THE HIGHEST
NEAR 16"... JUST FOR REFERENCE FOR POSSIBLE OUTCOMES IN THE NEXT 24
(THOUGH SURE WILL BE SLIGHTLY LOWER).  SINCE THEN...NOTICING THAT TOTALS
CONTINUE TO BE REPRESENTATIVE FOR IKE'S CENTRAL FEATURE BUT BANDS THAT
ARE OVER THE INTERCOASTAL WAY INTO JEFFERSON COUNTY AS WELL AS SECOND
BAND RAPIDLY DEVELOPING AS IT APPROACHES C CAMERON PARISH ARE UNDER
ESTIMATED AS TOPS ARE NOT COLD ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE AUTO TECHNIQUES.
STILL VISIBLE LOOP SHOWS THESE BANDS AS VERY STRONG WITH MULTIPLE
OVERSHOOTING TOPS THAT HAVE REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY OVER JEFFERSON
COUNTY AND SWWARD OVER THE GULF SINCE DAYBREAK.

SINCE 12Z...CENTRAL FEATURE HAS POPPED A FEW OVERSHOOTING TOPS AND
EXPANDING COLD SHIELD VERY NEAR THE CENTER OVER HOUSTON AND TRINITY
COUNTIES WITH SOME TOPS COLDER THAN -80C AND CAPABLE OF 3-3.5"/HR TOTALS
THOUGH IT HAS BEEN ROTATING RAPIDLY AROUND THE NE SIDE.  THE VERY COLD
TOPS OVER HARRIS COUNTY HAVE WANED A BIT BUT NOT BEFORE ESTIAMTES AT 5"
WERE ESTIMATED FOR 3HR FROM 1132-1432Z. PLEASE SEE A GRAPHIC OF 3HR
TOTALS AT WEB ADDRESS BELOW.
