EVENT...CONTINUING HEAVY RAIN FROM MERGERS/TRAINING CELLS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONTINUED TSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE
MOISTURE AXIS JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRNT SPREAD OUT OVER THE CENTRAL
US IS PRODUCING MOD TO HVY RAIN. THOUGH FFG ACROSS OK/SE KS/SW MO
WAS INITIALLY RELATIVELY HIGH..REPEATED TRAINING OF CELLS HAS QUICKLY
LOWERED THOSE VALUES. ENERGY ASSCD WITH VORT INVOF OK/TX PANHANDLES
IN BASE OF THE UPPER TROF APPEARS TO BE MOVING NEWD..ALMOST PARALLEL
TO THE FRNT. CURRENT MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER FEATURES MEANS THAT LITTLE
EWD PUSH WILL BE PROVIDED TO THE PRE-FRONTAL CNVTN FOR THE NEXT 1-2
HRS UNTIL THE FRNT ARRIVES THOUGH IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIFT SLOWLY
NEWD. NEW CNVTN BEHIND THE FRNT IS INTENSIFYING/EXPANDING THOUGH AND IS
ALREADY BEGINNING TO CAUSE MERGERS ALONG THE BNDRY IN NE OK/SE KS/AND
WRN MO. RIGHT ENT REGION OF 110KT UPPER JET STREAK IS OVER SW MO PER
GOES STLT WINDS/LATEST PROFILER DATA...HELPING TO ENHANCE UVM INVOF THE
FRONTAL BNDRY. SSW LLJ OF 45-55KTS SHOWN BY PROFILERS IN OK/AR IS STILL
PROVIDING MOIST INFLOW TO THE CNVTN WITH DEWPTS AOA 60F IN SE OK AND PW
VALUES AT 1-1.25" PER GOES SOUNDER. 3 HR HYDROESTIMATOR THROUGH 0545Z
SHOWS AMOUNTS OF 2-3" STRETCHING FROM N CHEROKEE COUNTY/OK TO S WRIGHT
COUNTY IN S MO WITH A 3.1" MAX OVER BARRY/STONE COUNTIES/MO AND ANOTHER
OVER BENTON COUNTY/AR. SINCE THEN AND ADDITIONAL .5"-1" HAS LIKELY FALLEN
ALONG THIS AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL WITH CLOUD TOPS EXPANSION HAVING
OCCURRED IN SW MO/NE OK. CNVTN ALONG/BEHIND THE FRNT MOVING ENEWD WILL
CAUSE ADDITIONAL HVY RAINFALL OVER THESE SAME AREAS. EXPECT TRAINING
CELLS TO CONTINUE IN NE OK/SW/CENTRAL/E CENTRAL MO FOR THE AT LEAST THE
NEXT 3-4 HRS. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR GRAPHIC.
