SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SUBLTLE WARM TOP CELL DEVELOPED AROUND
0745Z ALONG THE ROCKINGHAM/GUILFORD COUNTY BORDER AND SHOWN LTLT
SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT. THIS CELL IS CLOSE TO UPPR LOW..SO UPPR WIND FLOW
IS ON THE LIGHT SIDE. MANUAL STLT ESTIMATES INDICATE THAT AT LEAST AN
INCH HAS FALLEN..ALTHOUGH SUBTLE WARM TOP NATURE MAKES A MORE PRECISE
ESTIMATE DIFFICULT.
.
PAST CASES HAVE SHOWN THAT ISOLATED WARM TOP CELLS THAT DEVELOP INVOF
UPPR LOWS CAN BE NOTORIOUS FOR PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER A
RELATIVELY SMALL AREA. IF THIS CELL REMAINS FAIRLY STNRY..THEN IT IS
COULD VERY WELL PRODUCE A COUPLE/THREE INCHES OF RAIN.
