EVENT...BACKBUILDING CELLS ALONG STNRY BNDRY
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MULTIPLE CELLS ARE SEEN ON VIS/IR IMAGERY
BUILDING SWWD INTO THE DOMINANT FLOW OVER N IL. THESE CELLS ARE SEEN ALONG
A STNRY PART OF THE FRONTAL BNDRY THAT STRETCHES ACROSS THE MIDWEST. SWRLY
WINDS THROUGH MOST OF THE LAYER IN NE MO/CENTRAL IL ARE PULLING RICH
MOISTURE NEWD TO FEED THESE STORMS AND CONTINUE THEIR RENEWAL TO THE
SW. CELLS APPEAR TO INITIATE RATHER QUICKLY ALONG THE BNDRY AND MOVE
NEWD PRODUCING MOD RAINS THEREAFTER WHILE NEW CELLS FORM TO TAKE THEIR
PLACE. CELLS ARE REGENERATING FOR THE MOST PART FROM PEORIA TO VERMILLION
COUNTIES. ADDITIONAL CELLS MOVING NWD THROUGH CENTRAL IL SHOULD MERGE
WITH ABOVE MENTIONED CELLS ALONG THE BNDRY IN NEXT 30-60 MIN CAUSING HVY
RAINS THERE. ESTIMATE THAT AS MUCH AS 1.5-2.5" ARE POSSIBLE OVER NEXT
1-2 HRS WITH MOD RAINS CONTINUING AFTERWARDS...HOWEVER HEAVIER RAINS
OVER PAST DAY OR TWO HAVE STAYED N OF THIS AREA AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DO SO. BELIEVE THAT AS S/WV TO THE W PUSHES ITS WAY THROUGH MN/IA..THIS
PART OF THE FRNT OVER N IL WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY NEWD BRINGING HEAVIER
RAINS TO NRN IL AND NW IN LATER IN THE NIGHT. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
