SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BOWING SEGMENT OF FRONTAL BNDRY ASSCD
WITH EWD MOVING CLUSTER IS NOW SEEN ACROSS CENTRAL IA. MOVEMENT HAS BEEN
SOMEWHAT FASTER THAN EXPECTED ALLOWING FOR HVY RAINS TO MOVE THROUGH THE
STATE A LITTLE FASTER. MCS HAS NOW WARMED APPROX 10C SINCE 00Z AND HAS
CONSOLIDATED SOME AS WELL. WITH THIS CLOUD TOP WARMING HAS COME A DECREASE
IN OVERALL INTENSITY OF STORMS AND RAIN RATES WITHIN THE SYSTEM. MOD RAINS
WILL CONTINUE AS THE GROUP OF CELLS CONTINUES ITS EWD MOVEMENT AND MAY
ALLOW FOR A FEW HRS OF RAINFALL IN A FAIRLY WIDE BAND BEFORE EXITING THE
CENTRAL/NE IA AREA. HOWEVER TO THE SW..STRONG TSTORMS STILL EXIST ALONG
A NEARLY STNRY PART OF THE FRNT THAT IS MUCH MORE FOCUSED. NEW CELLS
HAVE FORMED RATHER QUICKLY SWWD FROM SE NEBRASKA INTO N CENTRAL AND W
CENTRAL KS. THESE MULTIPLE CLUSTERS ARE POSITIONED FROM ABOUT KHLC IN
KS TO KOMA. PLOT OF SFC WINDS SHOWS A GOOD CNVG AREA ALONG THE FRNT THAT
IS COINCIDENT WITH THE SFC THETA-E AXIS WHICH EXTENDS FROM WRN KS INTO S
CENTRAL/SE NEB. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS MOISTURE CNVG IS STRONGEST RIGHT
ALONG THE KS/NE BORDER FROM N CENTRAL KS TO EXTREME NE KS/NW MO. WITH 850
JET SLOWLY TURNING SWRLY PER PROFILER/VWP DATA..COULD SEE TRAINING OF
CELLS A LITTLE LATER ON TONIGHT AS THE MCS MENTIONED ABOVE IN IA PULLS
THAT PART OF THE FRNT FARTHER E STRETCHING THE FRNT ACROSS KS/NE MORE
W-E. ESTIMATE THAT BETWEEN 1.5-2.5" WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS WHERE
TSTORM CORES HAVE TRAINED HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED FROM NE TREGO COUNTY/KS
TO WEBSTER COUNTY/NE. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
