EVENT...CLUSTERS OF TSTMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP..PSBL MCS OVERNIGHT
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CLUSTERS OF TSTMS HAVE BEEN AFFECTING THE
AREA FM W CENTRAL CO THRU NE CO/S WY/NEB PANHANDLE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
HRS. THE TSTMS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING WITHIN PLUME OF HIGH PW'S/ZONE OF
INSTABILITY/THETA-E RIDGE AXIS. IN THE PAST CPL OF HRS.. CONVECTIVE CLOUD
TOPS HAVE REACHED THEIR COOLEST LEVELS THUS FAR OVER OVER NE QUARTER OF
CO AND SE WY. ANTICYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT HAS RESULTED IN RELATIVELY SLOW
MOVEMENT OF CELLS. WITH RECENT INCR IN NUMBER AND INTENSITY OF TSTMS..ESP
OVER N CENTRAL/E CENTRAL/NE CO...SE WY..STLT TRENDS SUGGEST THAT THERE
IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY OF TSTM CLUSTERS MERGING/CONSOLIDATING INTO MCS
OVERNIGHT. ATTM..STLT TRENDS POINT TWD INITIAL CONSOLIDATION OVER N
CENTRAL CO/NE CO/SE WY AREA..EVENTUALLY SPREADING ACRS NEB PANHANDLE.
.
LATEST IMAGERY SHOWS SMALL S/SWWD DRIFTING CLUSTER OVER NE CO..WHICH
IS LIKELY TO MERGE WITH TSTMS TO THE SW. OVER N CENTRAL CO INTO SE
WY..BAND OF TSTMS IS ORGANIZING..WITH MERGERS ALREADY OCCURRING. THIS
BAND IS WITHIN AREA OF DECENT SFC CONVERGENCE..WITH DEW POINTS UP TO
THE LOW 60'S C. GOES SOUNDER PW'S ARE IN THE 1-1.4" RANGE. A NUMBER OF
LOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED VERY HVY RAIN OVER PARTS OF THE AREA
FM W  CENTRAL TO NE CO AND SE WY ALREADY..MAINLY FM SLOW MOVG/MERGING
TSTM CLUSTERS. THE CONCERN FOR THIS EVENING/TONIGHT IS A MORE ORGANIZED/
WIDESPREAD SYSTEM..MCS..FOR THE NE QUARTER OF CO/SE WY/NEB. GIVEN THIS
SCENARIO ALONG WITH THE ABOVE NORMAL PW'S AND HIGH DEW POINTS..SEVERAL
ADDITIONAL INCHES OF RAIN IS QUITE PSBL FOR PARTS OF THE DISCUSSION AREA.
