EVENT...HVY RAINS ALONG BNDRY IN NE CO
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RAPIDLY COOLING CLOUD TOPS IN NE CO/W NE
ARE A SURE SIGN THAT HVY RAINS ARE OCCURRING INVOF THE DEFORMATION ZONE
THAT STRETCHES ALONG THE CO/KS BORDER AND NWD THROUGH W NE. CLOUD TOP
TEMP ON THE MAIN CLUSTER OF CELLS IS BETWEEN -69C TO -71C FROM N YUMA
COUNTY/CO TO KEITH COUNTY/NE AS OF 1815Z IMAGE. STRONG THETA-E RIDGE
IS PRESENT THROUGH THE NRN PLAINS AND STRETCHES INTO CENTRAL SD AHEAD
OF LINE OF CONVECTION. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS POOLING OF MOISTURE
CONV TO THE S OF STRONG CLUSTER SO ADDITIONAL CELLS..SOME OF WHICH HAVE
ALREADY DEVELOPED SHOULD FORM AND TRAIN NWD ALONG THE CO/KS BORDER INTO
W NE. NOTICE IR SHOWS COOLING CLOUD TOPS OVER KIOWA/CHEYENNE/KIT CARSON
COUNTIES AT TAIL END OF LINE. THOUGH STORMS ARE MOVING..POSSIBLE TRAINING
THREAT COULD ALLOW FOR 2-3" TOTALS IN THE EXTREME NE COUNTIES OF CO AND
INTO WRN NE IN THE NEXT FEW HRS. ALSO NOTICED THE FEW SMALL CELLS IN WRN
KS HAVE A NW MOVEMENT TO THEM WHICH COULD CAUSE A MERGER OR TWO AS THEY
INTERACT WITH THE CLUSTER TO THE N.
