EVENT...HEAVY RAIN WITH EAST/WEST LINE OF CONVECTION OVER NW IOWA
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT
HEAVY RAINFALL AS MAX PW/S ARE POOLED ALG WAVY FNTL BNDRY OVER NW
IA. GOES DERIVED PW/S SHOWING AOA 2" ALG AND S OF THE FNT AND THIS IS
IN LINE WITH 00Z RAOBS. SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE BULLSEYE IS CENTERED
CLOSE TO NRLY STNRY CNVTN OVER CHEROKEE/BUENA VISTA AND IS BEING AIDED
BY WEAK SFC LO ON THE FNT IN THE VICINITY.
.
SATELLITE CLD TOP TEMPS HAVE BEEN STEADILY COOLING WITH LITTLE MVMNT
OVER CHEROKEE/BUENA VISTA SINCE AROUND 2330Z. AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTS
ARE SHOWING MAX 3 HR RAINFALL FOR THIS AREA OF 3.5-4.5" WHICH LOOKS
REASONABLE. THE PLACEMENT SEEMS TO BE OFFSET A LITTLE TO THE S AND E OF
CHEROKEE AND BUENA VISTA WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAS LIKELY FALLEN.
.
AS REMNANTS OF CNVTV BLOWUP IN NE MOVE INTO NW IA FEEL THAT THIS WILL
HELP NUDGE CNVTN FURTHER E IN NEXT HR OR SO..BUT WILL NEED TO CLOSELY
MONITOR LOCATIONS DOWNSTREAM FOR ADL HEAVY RAINFALL.
.
QUICK LOOK AT 0332Z IMAGE SHOW BACK EDGE OF CNVTV CLOUDS STILL NOT
MVG FROM CHEROKEE..HOWEVER COLDEST CLD TOPS HAVE NOW EDGED INTO ERN
BUENA VISTA.
