.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CELLS ALONG STNRY FRONT EXTENDING SEWD
THROUGH KS HAVE STRENGTHENED..MOSTLY ALONG THE NRN END AND ARE ALREADY
STARTING TO INTERACT WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE MOVING THROUGH NE. SFC WINDS
SHOW GOOD LOW LVL CONVERGENCE FROM JUST W OF ICT NWD TO N OF RSL IN N
CENTRAL KS AND BELIEVE THAT A LINE OF CELLS COULD FORM LEADING INTO THE
CLUSTER OVER NE. ONE CLUSTER OF CELLS IN N KS STARTED TO MERGE WITH THE
LINE MOVING THROUGH NE BUT THEN FELL APART AS A SECOND CLUSTER FORMED TO
ITS SW. HEAVIEST RAINS ARE ASSCD WITH THE COLD TOPS IN W CENTRAL NE ATTM
AND AN OVERSHOOTING TOP IS PRESENT WITH -76C OVER NE LINCOLN COUNTY. IF
CELLS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE KS/NE BORDER..MULTIPLE MERGERS WILL
OCCUR AS THE CELLS MOVE NWD AND TRAIN ACROSS S CENTRAL NE. BELIEVE
COUNTIES TO BE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT ARE THOSE BETWEEN MCK..LBF..AND
GRI/NE..THOUGH HIGHER FFG IN S/E NE MAY BE ABLE TO ABSORB A GOOD BIT OF
THE HVY RAINS. BELIEVE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1.5-3" POSSIBLE SO AREA WILL
HAVE TO BE MONITORED. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR GRAPHIC.
