.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...UPPER LOW IS SEEN ON WV IMAGERY NEAR
KCIR/KCGI IN SE MO WITH CYCLONIC SFC CIRCULATION ALSO SEEN PER VIS
IMAGERY IN EXTREME SRN IL. WV IMAGERY RATHER THAN IR BETTER DEPICTS THE
FACT THAT CELLS APPEAR TO KEEP REFORMING OVER PARTS OF WRN TN NEAR AND
JUST W OF KBNA. LATEST VIS IMAGERY SHOWS NEW CELLS AND CU FORMING N OF
KMKL AS WARMER AIR IS BEING WRAPPED NEWD AROUND THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION
IN S IL. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS MOD STRONG SFC MOISTURE CNVG OVER W
TN/W KY/SW IN JUST AHEAD OF THE SFC LOW. WV IMAGERY/GOES SOUNDER SHOW
DRY SLOT HAS FILLED IN SOMEWHAT IN ITS NRN PART BUT STILL DRIER AIR
IS NOT FAR BEHIND..JUST PUSHING ACROSS THE TN/AR BORDER AT THE LOWER
LVLS. STILL PW VALUES OF 0.8-1" ARE OVER W TN AND GOES SOUNDER SHOWS
INSTABILITY MAX OVER LA/MS BORDER EXTENDING NWD INTO SFC CIRCULATION
NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF MO/TN/KY/IL. DUE TO THE DRY AIR THAT WILL BE
IMPINGING ON THE AREA RATHER QUICKLY..DUE NOT FORESEE ANY LONG LASTING
FF EVENT BUT THE AREAS W OF KBNA THAT ALREADY SAW SOME HVY RAINS TODAY
MAY RECEIVE SOME MOD RAINS OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS..PERHAPS ENOUGH TO
CAUSE PROBLEMS AGAIN. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
