SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WAS NOT TOO CONCERNED WITH CELLS
INITIALLY AS THEIR MOVEMENT SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD...HOWEVER SAW SOME
SLOWING/TRAINING AROUND 2345Z WITH SOME MERGERS POSSIBLE WITH FAIRLY
RAPID OVERSHOOTING TOP DEVELOPMENT OEVR THE TODD/STEARNS COUNTY BORDER.
SOME AREAS MAY HAVE SEEN A QUICK .5"-.75" IN 30 MIN WITH THAT MERGER.
COLD TOP THEN CONTINUED TO MOVE NE TOWARDS MORRISON COUNTY WHERE
AREAS ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE SEEN SIMILAR RATES OR EVEN A LITTLE HIGHER
NEAR 1.0"/30 MIN AS TOPS COOLED A LITTLE MORE WITH THE 0045Z IMAGE.
ESTIMATED TOTALS OVER THE PAST 2 HOURS ARE IN THE 1.0"-1.5" RANGE OVER
MUCH OF TODD/MORRISON/STEARNS COUNTIES...HOWEVER ESTIMATING SOME AREAS
HAVE SEEN 2.25" IN THE PAST 2 HOURS..ESPECIALLY OVER TODD/MORRISON
