SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BACKBUILDING OF EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO
WESTERN IOWA CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MERGING WITH EASTERN PORTION OF WESTERN
NEBRASKA CONVECTIVE COMPLEX.  MERGER W TO E ACROSS N CUSTER THRU SE LOOP
TO WHEELER COUNTY WHERE 1-2 INCHES CAN BE FALLING IN A 30-60 MINUTE
TIME PERIOD.  THIS RIGHT ALONG MOIST PW PLUME AXIS CENTERED C IA THRU
C/SW NEBRASKA.  WEAK MOISTURE TRANSPORT ALONG WITH SURFACE MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AND AT LEAST -5 LIS ON GOES SOUNDER DATA WILL HELP SUSTAIN
CONVECTION.  A POSITIVE IS UPPER LEVEL WINDS BETTER THAN 30KTS WHICH
SHOULD KEEP ACTIVITY MOVING SOUTH EVEN AS COOLING TOPS CONTINUE WITH
ADDITIONAL MERGING CELLS AND THIS MAY KEEP ANY ONE SPOT FROM GETTING
HIGHER AMOUNTS AND MORE WIDESPREAD FF.
ALSO FOLLOWING MERGED CELLS SW NEBRASKA AND THAT SHOULD MOVE A BIT
SLOWER...BUT MOISTURE HERE NOT AS HIGH AS C AND E NEBRASKA.
