.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...UPPER LOW SLOWLY LIFTING NEWD INTO SE
MO HAS A VERY GOOD STREAM OF MOISTURE COMING UP FROM THE GULF ON WV
IMAGERY. STORMS HAVE INITIATED ALONG THE STNRY FRNT IN THE PAST HR IN
SRN IN/NRN KY AND HAVE NOT SHOWN MUCH MOVEMENT SINCE THEN. STRONGEST
CELLS ARE ALONG THE SRN EDGE OF THE IR CLOUD TOPS FROM ABOUT DAVIESS
COUNTY/IN EWD TO NRN HARRISON COUNTY/KY. VIS IMAGERY/RADAR ALSO SHOWS
NEW CELLS INITIATING TO THE S OF THE FRNT INVOF CENTRAL KY THOUGH THESE
SEEM TO BE MOVING ALONG..SOME EWD AND SOME N/NEWD SO THERE IS A GOOD
CHANCE THAT MERGERS WILL OCCUR IN NRN KY JUST AS THEY OCCURRED IN SRN
IN PER RADAR. ESTIMATE THAT BETWEEN 1.5-2" OF RAINFALL HAS OCCURRED IN
PAST HR ALONG THIS LINE AS CELLS HAVE BEEN NEARLY STNRY AND A MERGER
HAS OCCURRED. RAINFALL WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO BE VERY HVY OVER THE NEXT
1-3 HRS AS THE CELLS MOVE SLOWLY NWD WITH SLOW MOVEMENT OF UPPER LOW.
.
TO THE S IN THE WARM SECTOR..CELLS HAVE FORMED IN WRN TN/WRN KY AND
ARE STREAMING NWD TWD THE FRNT. BELIEVE TRAINING OF CELLS COULD BE
A  POSSIBILITY ALONG A N-S LINE FROM APPROX W/CENTRAL TN TO KHOP TO
KEVV. ALSO CELLS MAY MERGE WITH THE CLUSTER IN SRN IN AS THEY MAKE THEIR
WAY NWD. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
