.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WEDGE OF CNVTN THAT HAS BEEN SITTING
INVOF WICHITA/CLAY COUNTIES IN N CENTRAL TX JUST WILL NOT BUDGE. UPR
LOW IS NOW SWINGING JUST TO THE S WITH THE SRN EDGE OF THE CNVTN ACTING
AS PIVOT PT. AMS IS NOW COMPLETELY SATURATED AND WITH LOW EQ LEVEL
THIS IS MAKING FOR EXTREMELY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. 1.5" PER HLF HR
RAINFALL AMNTS CONT UNDER COLDEST TOPS. (AUTOMATED ESTS MUCH TOO LOW AND
DISREGARDED). EXPECT CNVTN TO GRDLY DIMINISH OVER NEXT SEVERAL HRS  AS
UPR LOW CONTS TO SHIFT ESE. ALSO EXPECTING ADL HEAVY RAIN BAND TO BECOME
ESTABLISHED FURTHER E IN RESPONSE TO BEST FORCING WITH UPR LOW..PERHAPS
SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY OF FANNIN COUNTY.
.
WHILE RAINFALL TOTS ARE NOT AS PRODIGIOUS AS FURTHER S IN WICHITA/CLAY
COUNTIES..HEAVY RAIN ALSO CONTS OVER CENTRAL OK INVOF CANADIAN..GRADY
AND GADDO COUNTIES. CNVTN HAS NOT BEEN AS STNRY/PERSISTENT AND MOISTURE
NOT QUITE AS DEEP. BUT CNVTN HAS BEEN ONGOING OVER THIS AREA FOR AT
LEAST 6 HRS. UPWARDS OF 4" ESTD FROM AUTO TECHNIQUE AND THIS LOOKS IN
THE BALLPARK..ALTHOUGH EVEN THIS IS LIKELY A BIT TOO LOW.
