SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RAIN RATES ARE INCREASING DURING THE
PAST HOUR OR SO ESPECIALLY IN S.W. IOWA.  THERE IS SUCH A LARGE REGION OF
COLD-TOPS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISTINGUISH SEPARATE CELLS BUT EMBEDDED
WAVES ARE AIDING IN PRODUCING 1.5-2.0" PER HALF-HOUR MAX ESTIMATED
RAIN RATES CENTER...BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY IN POTTAWATTAMIE COUNTY, IOWA.
THIS EMBEDDED WAVE IN S.E. NEBRASKA AND S.W. IOWA WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
NORTHEASTWARD AND THE NEXT WAVE...IN N.E. KANSAS WILL BE THE NEXT BURST
OF HEAVY RAIN FOR THE MID-MISSOURI VALLEY.  ESTIMATED MAX TOTAL OF 7.5"
IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COUNTY WITH LESSER BUT STILL DEVASTATING AMOUNTS
FROM MARSHALL COUNTY IN N.E. KANSAS THRU PAWNEE COUNTY IN S.E. NEBRASKA.
WATER VAPOR SHOWS SHARP DIFFLUENCE IN UPPER LEVELS ENABLING DEVELOPMENT
INTO THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS BUT DIFFLUENCE NEAR THE MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS
IN SOUTHERN IOWA SEEMS FIRMLY IN PLACE ATTM.
