SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CURRENT IR ENHANCED IMAGERY SHOWS A
NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED LINE OF CELLS THRU BEADLE, SPINK AND BROWN COUNTIES
IN THE N.E. QUADRANT OF SOUTH DAKOTA INTO SARGENT AND RANSOM COUNTIES
IN S.E. NORTH DAKOTA.  WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A BROAD DIFFLUENT
REGION IN THE UPPER LEVELS THAT IS AIDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CELLS IN
EAST-CENTRAL S.D.  SOUNDER PW SHOWS AN AXIS OF 1.50" PLUS PW'S FLOWING
UP THRU MISSOURI INTO WESTERN IOWA.  SOME OF THIS MOISTURE ASSISTANCE IS
GETTING CUT OFF BY THE CONVECTION IN IOWA BUT EVIDENTLY SOME IS CONTINUING
TO PROGRESS INTO THE EASTERN REGION OF S.D. ALONG WITH HIGHER DEWPOINTS.
.
MAX ESTIMATED RAIN RATES OF .9" PER HALF-HOUR MAY BE SOMEWHAT MITIGATED
BY FAST MOVEMENT OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS NORTHWARD ALONG THIS LINE.  AT THIS
RATE...FFG VALUES WILL BE REACHED IN MOST AFFECTED AREAS IN A SHORT TIME.
