.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY TRANSLATE
EASTWARD WITH CELL MOTIONS NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE ORIENTATION OF THE
FRONT DUE TO A DEEP SWLY FLOW.  THOUGH LOW LEVELS HAVE SOME NORTHERLY
COMPONENT FOR DECENT MOISTURE FLUX OF 1.1-1.3" PWS.   IR TEMPS HAVE
CONTINUED TO SLOWLY COOL ACROSS THE LINE PARTICULARLY WITH A PREFRONTAL
CONVECTIVE AREA JUST SOUTH OF CVG AND A COLD (TO -60C) POCKET ALONG THE
FRONT MOVING INTO THE SAME AREA... RATES TO 1.0"/HR HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED
ON IR OVER A HIGHLY VARIABLE TERRAIN NEAR THE RIVER CLOUD LEAD TO LOCAL
STREET/URBAN PROBLEMS DURING THE MORNING COMMUTES. IR TOPS FURTHER
UPSTREAM IN S IN/N KY/S IL HAVE BEEN COOLING AND EXPANDING AS WELL AS
BACKBUILDING IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVELOPING SHORTWAVE ACROSS OK/KS AND
HIGHLY DIVERGENT AREA OF THE JET.  THIS AREA IS A PARTICULAR RISK FOR
FLOODING AS THE FRONT HAS STALLED AND IS LIFTING BACK NORTHWARD ACROSS
MO...AND WITH CONTINUED SWLY FLOW/MOISTURE FLUX AND JET DYNAMICS FOR
DEEP CONVECTION TO CONTINUE TRAINING OVER THE SAME AREAS.
