SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VORT LIFTING OUT OF OK HAS DEVELOPED WELL
DEFINED COMMA FEATURE ON WV IMAGERY AND AREAL PRECIP COVERAGE AS PER RADAR
HAS ALSO BEEN EXPANDING/INCRG PAST FEW HRS. 00Z RAOBS NOT SHOWING MUCH
IN THE WAY OF BROAD ISENTROPIC LIFT TO AID PRECIP BUT ASCENT BEING AIDED
BY STG DYNAMICS ASCD WITH 130KT JET AND ROTATIONAL SHEAR. WITH NASCENT
DRY SLOT POKING N FROM CENTRAL OK INTO S CENTRAL KS NR KPNC EXPECT BEST
PRECIP TO OCR ON THE WRN FLANK OF THE DRY SLOT IN THE COMMA HEAD. THIS
WILL PLACE HEAVIEST PRECIP ALG AN AXIS FROM NR KPNC TO NR KEMP AND INTO
THE KMKC AREA NEXT FEW HRS. WITH CLD TOPS BEGINNING TO COOL IN THE BASE
OF THE COMMA HEAD FURTHER EXPANSION AND INCR OF MDT SNOW AREA IS LIKELY
WITH 1"/HR RATES PSBL.
