NE FROM CENTRAL IA INTO WI...ALLOWING FOR IMPRESSIVE 8H THETA-E ADV MAX
CENTERED OVER ONGOING CNVTN. THIS ALSO SUPPORTED WITH GOOD ISENTROPIC
LIFT ON 300K AND 305K THETA SURFACES.

MOISTURE PICTURE IS HARD TO GET A GOOD HANDLE ON. DEEP MOISTURE (AOA
2") IN PLACE OVER IA ALG/SOUTH OF FNTL BNDRY. BUT PW/S DROP OFF TO
1.3-1.5" KGRB TO KMSP. SFC TD/S ARND CNVTN ARE IN U50S. EXTENSIVE CLD
COVER IS PRECLUDING GOES DERIVED PW/S AND GPS DERIVED PW/S APPEAR TO
BE TOO LOW. BUT WITH MODELS SHOWING GOOD 8H FLOW INTO THIS AREA FROM
MOISTURE RICH IA THIS SUPPORTS AT LEAST THE THREAT OF VERY HEAVY RAIN
FROM  CONTD CNVTN AND REPEAT CELLS ACRS THIS AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER
