SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SW-NE LINE OF CELLS EXTENDING FROM NE
OF KARG TO JUST N OF KM30 HAS BEEN VERY SLOW TO MOVE FROM ITS CURRENT
POSITION..REMAINING NEAR STNRY ALONG A SECTION OF THE FRNT THAT HAS
RETROGRADED IN LAST FEW HRS. PUSH FROM THE FLOW AROUND FAY AND MIDLVL
VORT OVER MO/OK BORDER HAS SQUEEZED THE FRNT TO A TEMPORARY HALT OVER
SE MO/KY AND IL BORDER. OVERSHOOTING TOPS CAN BE SEEN ON TWO PARTS OF
THE LINE..SEVERAL ARE JUST NW/N/NNE OF KCIR AND ANOTHER IS SEEN JUST
SSE OF KPOF. COLDEST PART OF THE LINE IS OVER THE SRN IL COUNTIES OF
PULASKI AND ALEXANDER AT -66C. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES HAVE SHOWN UP TO
1.6"/HR RAIN RATES AND UP TO 1.2" IN THE PAST HR ENDING 2315Z OVER SRN
PULASKI/SRN ALEXANDER COUNTIES. EXPECT SLOW/LITTLE MOVEMENT OF LINE TO
CONTINUE THOUGH IT SHOULD WEAKEN WITH WANING DIURNAL HEATING. SEE WEB
ADDRESS FOR ESTIMATE GRAPHIC SHORTLY.
