SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IMAGERY SHOWS THAT OVER THE PAST HOUR
THROUGH 2345Z THE COLDEST TOPS HAVE MOVED WESTWARD FROM MAHASKA COUNTY
INTO MARION COUNTY. AS THE COLDEST TOPS ORIGINATED IN MARION COUNT AT
ABOUT 23Z THIS HAS LEAD TO ABOUT AN HOUR OF INTENSE RAINFALL RATES WITH
1 HOUR AMOUNTS OF 2 INCHES POSSIBLE.  WITH GOES PWS OF 2.10 INCHES IN
THE VICINITY AND CONTINUED STRONG MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AS INDICATED
BY MCIDAS ANALYSIS THE THREAT OF ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS SO THE THREAT
REMAINS BUT LATEST IMAGE AT 0015Z SHOWS WARMING OF TOPS SO RATES SHOULD
COME DOWN SHORT TERM.
