Rainfall Potential = (Ravg) (D) / V

SSM/I rain rates and storm width for the TRaP product were generated from a 02:17 UTC (21:17 CDT) pass on the 27th. The mean satellite rain rate (Ravg) computed for Georges at this time was 0.34 in/hr (8.6 mm/hr). Multiplying Ravg by Georges' areal rain width D (273 nautical miles, 505 km) along the track and then dividing by the GOES estimate of Georges' motion V (8 knots, 15 km/hr), yields a rainfall potential (TRaP) of 11.6 inches (295 mm).
