.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST STLT IMAGERY SHOWS SW-NE BAND OF
COLD TOP CNVTN ACRS CENTRAL KS HAS BEEN MAINTAINING ITS INTENSITY WHILE
GRADUALLY SHIFTING S. THE COLDEST TOPS EXTEND FM NESS/HODGEMAN COUNTIES
NEWD TO RILEY COUNTY. ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE COLDER CLOUD TOPS EXTEND
N OF THIS LN..THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS FALLING ALONG THE SRN EDGE. WHILE
THE ERN PORTION OF THE PRECIP BAND HAS BEEN EDGING S..LATEST IMAGERY
ANIMATION SHOWS LTL SWD PROGRESSION OVER THE WRN PORTION. IN FACT..THE
AREA OF HVY TSTMS N OF DDC IS SHOWING LTL OVERALL MOVEMENT OVER THE PAST
HR. THIS IS LIKELY IN RESPONSE TO CONVECTIVE VORT MAX MOVG EWD ACRS
WRN KS. THE APPROACH OF THIS VORT HAS BEGAN TO ENHANCE THE CLOUD TOPS
OVER HODGEMAN/NESS COUNTIES. CURRENT STLT TRENDS INDICATE THAT TSTMS
WILL CONTINUE TO ENHANCE TO THE N AND NE OF DDC AND TO THE W AND N OF
HUT..WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-2".
