SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MCS IS MOVG STEADILY SWWD..WITH CONVECTIVE
TOPS MAINTAINING INTENSITY. ATTM..THE COLDEST TOPS ARE OVER NE IA..W OF
DEH AND NE OF CCY. MCS IS MOVG SWWD ALONG 850MB GRADIENT.. AND ALONG PW
AND LI GRADIENTS PER GOES SOUNDER IMAGERY..STEERED BY NERLY MID LVL WINDS.
.
IR IMAGERY ANIMATION SHOWS VORT CENTER ALONG THE S CENTRAL MN BORDER..W
OF MCS..MOVG SW AS WELL. THE INFLUENCE OF THE VORT..AS WELL AS MCS HEADING
TWD HIGHER INSTABILITY AND PW'S..AND S/SWRLY 925 MB LLJ PER PROFILER DATA
AND NAM MODEL..SUGGESTS THAT MCS WILL MAINTAIN ITS INTENSITY AS LEADING
EDGE MOVES TWD CENTRAL IA OVERNIGHT. EVEN THOUGH MCS HAS BEEN MOVG TWD
THE SW..LATEST IMAGE SHOWS SOME NEW TSTM  DEVELOPMENT ALONG NRN PORTION
OF MCS..SW OF EAU/WIN. THIS IS DUE..IN PART..TO THE MAX 850MB THETA-E
ADVECTION STILL OVER WI. THUS..AREA TO THE S AND SW OF EAU THRU SE MN
AS WELL AS NE IA CAN STILL EXPECT SOME CELL TRAINING WITH HVY RAIN OVER
