SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS... FIRST BAND MOVED THROUGH BETWEEN 19Z
AND 21Z. ALTHOUGH CLOUDTOP TEMPS AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES SUPPORTED
INTENSE RATES, THE RAPID MOVEMENT LIKELY LIMITED GENERAL AMOUNTS TO UNDER
AN INCH.  A 2ND BAND HAS DEVELOPED PARTLY IN RESPONSE TO THE CONTINUED
PRESENCE OF THE 850MB JET, STRONG MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AS INDICATED
BY MCIDAS ANALYSIS AND THE STRONG SHORT WAVE APPARENT IN WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY CROSSING THE MN/IL BORDER AT THIS TIME.  HYDROESTIMATOR INDICATES
A MAXIMUM OF 2.0-2.5 INCHES 3 HOUR TOTALS ACROSS DEKALB, KANE AND WESTERN
COOK COUNTY.  LATEST IMAGE AT 2302Z SHOWS A MERGER BEAR THE DECALB/LASALLE
COUNTY BORDER WITH TOPS REACHING -77C SO INTENSE RATES SHOULD CONTINUE
AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM.
