EVENT...CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY CONTINUES NORTH ACROSS E OK AND AR...
HIGHLIGHTING FF AREA C TO NE OK THRU S MO/FAR N AR INTO S IL NEXT
FEW HRS...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...TWO DISTINCT MOISTURE PLUMES FROM
WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. ONE ALIGNED ALONG 91/92W PROVIDING GOOD MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INTO N CENTRAL AR/S CENTRAL TO SE MO INTO IL. SECOND MOISTURE
PLUME ALONG THE FAR WESTERN GULF/E TX AREA PROVIDING GOOD MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INTO STORMS ACROSS C OK INTO NE OK AND MERGING WITH OTHER
PLUME'S MOISTURE TRANSPORT ACROSS S MO. SLIGHT DRY AREA ADVECTION NOTED
IN PW LOOP ACROSS N MO AND LIFT NORTHWARD OF CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY FAR N
AR/EXT S MO...HELPING TO PUT SQUEEZE ON BOUNDARY CENTERED FAR N AR AND
S MO. THIS NARROWING OF DEEP MOISTURE HELPING TO CONTINUE TO CONCENTRATE
HIGHEST MOISTURE OUTPUT ACROSS S MO AND WITH BOUNDARY NOW ORIENTED SW TO
NE AND IN UPPER FLOW CAN HAVE EVEN A BETTER OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCALIZED
TRAINING CELLS TO CONTINUING HVY RAIN BURSTS OF 1-2 INCHES PER 2-4HRS.
THIS WILL BE THE CASE FROM NE OK...NW TO FAR N CENTRAL OK ABD ACROSS
EXT SE KS COUNTY OF CHEROKEE THRU SW AND REST OF S MO COUNTIES CENTERED
FROM JASPER TO JEFFERSON COUNTY. FLOW WILL SPREAD TRAINING CELLS ACROSS
S ILLINOIS COUNTIES CENTERED ST CLAIR TO CRAWFORD COUNTY...SO MAY BE
A SLIGHT UPTICK IN FF POTENTIAL THOSE ILLINOIS COUNTIES NEXT FEW HRS.
IMPULSE BEING EJECTED ACROSS C OK WILL BE MERGING WITH COOL TOP CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX LIFTING NORTH NE OK/N AR INTO S MO AND WILL ONLY CONTINUE HVY
RAIN AND FF S MO REST OF TONIGHT.
WILL ALSO BE KEEPING AN EYE ON ANY EJECTING OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES BACK
IN C TO INTERIOR W TX FOR ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO HVY RAIN/FF
SITUATION FOR S MO DURING THE DAY TUES. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
