SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...STRONG WEDGE SHAPED CLUSTER OF CELLS
IN NE IL CONTINUES TO MOVE SEWD TWDS NW IN BUT TAIL END IS NOT SHOWING
MUCH MOVEMENT. COUNTIES INCLUDING DE KALB/LEE/OGLE IN NRN IL WILL LIKELY
BE MOST AFFECTED BY THE HEAVIEST RAINS. CELLS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO
MERGE OVER THOSE COUNTIES PER LATEST IR IMAGERY AND LOOK LIKE THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO BUILD TO THE SW AS ADDITIONAL CELLS FORM ALONG THE MAIN
FRNT. STRONG THETA-E IS DIRECTED INTO THIS CLUSTER OF CELLS AND WITH PW
VALUES BETWEEN 1.8-NEAR 2" PER GOES SOUNDER..HVY RAINS WILL DEFINITLY
BE PROBLEMATIC. AN OVERSHOOTING TOP WAS SEEN ON VIS IMAGERY OVER CENTRAL
LEE COUNTY PER 2145Z IMAGE AND SEVERAL MORE APPEARING ON 2215Z IMAGE NR
THE IL/IA BORDER. ESTIMATE BETWEEN 1.6-2" IN LAST HALF HR ENDING 2215Z
FOR DE KALB/LEE/OGLE COUNTIES AND TOTALS OF 2-3.5" FOR PARTS OF DE KALB
SINCE 2045Z. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR GRAPHIC IN ABOUT 10 MIN.
