EVENT...MERGING OF CELLS OCCURRING IN SE KS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF CELLS ARE MERGING
TOGETHER IN SE KS AND MERGERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO N CENTRAL OK. THE
STORMS ARE ALONG 3 SEPARATE BNDRYS..ONE IN NE KS..ONE IN NE OK/SE KS..AND
ONE IN W OK. PLOT OF SFC WINDS OVER OK/KS AREA SHOWS SERLY WINDS PUSHING
THE BNDRY IN NE OK TWDS THE OTHER TWO BNDRYS. ALL THREE CLUSTERS OF
CELLS ASSCD WITH THESE BDNRYS ALREADY ARE PRODUCING VERY HVY RAINFALL
WITH CLOUD TOPS OF -77C TO -81C COMMON. EXPECT THAT HEAVIEST RAINFALL
NEXT 1-3 HRS WILL BE FROM GREENWOOD COUNTY/KS MOVING SWWD AS THE TWO OK
CLUSTERS COME TOGETHER TO W CENTRAL OK. PW VALUES OF 1.3-1.6" THROUGH
THE AREA WILL MAKE FOR VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL PROCESSES. ESTIMATE RAIN
RATES OF 2-2.5"/30 MIN WITH MERGER OF TWO LINES OCCURRING. BELIEVE THAT
MERGER WILL CREATE LARGE MCS WITH TAIL END FAIRLY STATIONARY IN SE KS/N
CENTRAL OK AND CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF CELLS IN THIS AREA. SEE WEB PAGE
IN 5-10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC AND SATELLITE ESTIMATES.
