SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TSTORMS ACROSS NRN MO AND S/E IA HAVE FOR
THE MOST PART BEGAN TO EASE WITH REGARDS TO HVY RAINFALL. CLUSTER IN E IA
NOW MOVING INTO NW IL/SW WI HAS WARMED DRAMATICALLY TO THE RANGE OF -60
TO -65C AND PER LATEST OBS IS NOW PRODUCING ONLY MOD RAINS. PART OF THE
OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM THIS CLUSTER IS SEEN MOVING QUICKLY S/SEWD THROUGH N
MO/W IL WHERE STRONGER TSTORMS ARE STILL NOTICED. 2ND CLUSTER NOW MOVING
INTO NW MO/SW IA HAS LOST ITS VERY COLD TOPS AS WELL AND WARMED BY NEARLY
10C IN PAST HR. LIGHTNING DATA SHOWS SCATTERED STRIKES THROUGHOUT THE
CLUSTER STILL BUT ARE MORE CONCENTRATED ON THE SE SIDE WHERE INTERACTION
WITH THE OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM THE OTHER CLUSTER IS ENHANCING CELLS. SWD
MOVING OUTFLOW IS HELPING TO CUT OFF RICH MOISTURE INFLOW TO THE TWO
CLUSTERS AND THUS CAUSING THE CLOUD TOP WARMING AND SUBSEQUENT DECREASE
IN RAIN RATES. EVEN WITH THIS WARMING THOUGH..IT STILL MAY BE POSSIBLE
FOR ANOTHER 1" OR SO OF RAINFALL OVER S CENTRAL/SE IA AND NRN MO AS WARM
TOP RAIN PROCESSES BEGIN TO TAKE OVER WITH THE NEWD MOVING CLUSTER.
