SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...GOES IR INDICATED A CLUSTER OF TSTMS
MOVING ENE FROM SE MO INTO S IL AT 1415Z WITH ADDITIONAL CELLS DEVELOPING
FURTHER TO THE SW OVER THE OZARKS IN AR.  STRONG 50-60KT LLJ FROM THE S IS
ALLOWING FOR GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT THRU E TX AND AR INTO SE MO/SW IL.
12Z RAOB AND 1320Z STLT DERIVED PW VALUES OF 1.1-1.2" FEEDING INTO S
MO/S IL/S IN ALONG AXIS OF BEST SFC MOISTURE CONVERGENCE LOCATED ALONG
A NW-SE ORIENTED LINE STRETCHING FROM NE AR THRU SE MO/W KY/S IL PER
12Z SFC ANALYSIS.
.
IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE TWO AREAS OF ENHANCED CONVECTION (ONE OVER
S IL AND SECOND OVER N AR) WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PROGRESS TO THE
NE..AFFECTING THE DISCUSSION AREAS OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS INTO THE
AFTERNOON.  THESE CLUSTERS OF TSTMS HAVE A HISTORY OF PRODUCING 1.0-2.0"
