.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CNVCTV CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN STEADILY
COOLING..INVOF COLD FRONT..FM SW OK/TX NEWD TO NE KS. CNVTN IN NE KS
IS ACTUALLY N OF SFC FRONT BUT CLOSER TO 850MB BOUNDARY PER PROFILER
WINDS. WITH COLDER AIR PUSHING DOWN FM THE NR AT LOW LEVELS..WOULD EXPECT
THE MOD/HVY RAIN OVER NE KS TO SWITCH OVER TO SNOW THIS EVE.
.
FURTHER S..COLDEST CNVCTV TOPS EXTEND FM SW OK TO S KS AND COINCIDE WITH
MAX SFC CONVERGENCE ZONE. THUS FAR..THE SW-NE BAND HAS BEEN PROGRESSING
EWD. HOWEVER..AM CONCENRED THAT PROGRESSION MAY TEND TO SLOW SOMEWHAT..AS
850MB PROFILER WINDS OVER OK SHOW STEADY SSWRLY FLOW AND SFC WINDS
ARE S TO SERLY OVER E HALF OF OK. A SLOWING DOWN OF THIS BAND LEAVES
OPEN THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME CELL TRAINING AND MERGERS. THUS FAR..THE
HYDROESTIMATOR IS INDICATING 1 HR TOTALS BTWN 0.2-0.4"/HR OVER KS..AND
0.5-0.75"/HR OVER OK.
