EVENT...SOME WARMING CLOUD TOPS WITHIN SQUALL LINE..THOUGH NEW CELL
GROWTH IN OTHER PARTS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MOST RECENT WV IMAGERY DEPICTS S/WV
TROF AND ITS ENERGY BEGINNING TO LIFT SLIGHTLY NEWD WITH THE LOW OVER IA
WHILE THE SQUALL LINE CNVTN IT SPARKED THIS TODAY APPEARS TO HAVE BECOME
DISCONNECTED FROM THE LOW IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRNT. VIS IMAGERY SHOWS
THE STRONGEST LINE OF CELLS RUNNING FROM SE OK WHERE CNVTN IS CURRENTLY
ANCHORED TO NEAR KMEZ/AR THROUGH KBPK AND KUNO IN AR/MO RESPECTIVELY
TO KSAR/IL. NE OF KSAR THE LINE BECOMES BROKEN INTO SMALLER SEGMENTS OF
STRONGER CELLS WITHIN THE LINE THOUGH A FEW MORE OVERSHOOTING TOPS ARE
SEEN NE OF KSLO/IL AND APPROACHING KEYE/IN. CELLS IN NW AR HAVE WARMED A
BIT AS THE SQUALL LINE ITSELF PUSHED SEWD FASTER THAN THE ANCHORED CELLS
OVER SE OK..LEAVING CNVTN TO WARM AND REDUCE IN SIZE OVER THE NW PART
OF THE STATE. HOWERVER IT APPEARS THAT NEW CNVTN IS NOW FORMING BEHIND
THE MAIN SQUALL LINE WITH EVEN COLDER TOPS THAN THE CELLS OUT AHEAD OF
THEM..CLOUD TOP TEMPS REACH -67C IN THE NEWLY FORMED STORMS FROM NEWTON
COUNTY AR TO HOWELL/OREGON COUNTY MO. ALSO COLDER TOP CELLS CONTINUE TO
MOVE NEWD ALONG THE NOSE OF THE THETA-E AXIS INTO SW IL..WHERE TOPS OF
-66C ARE OVER THE AREA NEAR KCGI/KMDH.
.
ALSO OF CONCERN IS NEW CNVTN WHICH HAS FORMED OVER W TN/W KY WHICH IS
SLOWER MOVING THAN THE APPROACHING SQUALL LINE AND WITH MERGERS CONSIDERED
THAT WILL BE OCCURRING BETWEEN THESE CELLS AND THE SQUALL LINE IN THE
NEXT FEW HRS..COULD SEE RAINFALL RATES JUMP VERY QUICKLY FOR A BRIEF TIME
BACK UP TO 2-3"/HR AS WERE SEEN THIS AFTERNOON IN SOME AREAS. FIRST PLACE
THAT MERGERS WILL LIKELY BE OCCURRING LOOKS TO BE SW IN/S IL/W KY BORDER
AREAS AND NOT LONG AFTER INVOF AND S OF KCIR. THE SQUALL LINE MAY ALSO
STALL BRIEFLY AS MERGERS TAKE PLACE ALONG THE KY BORDER. WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR GRAPHIC ANALYSIS IN 10 MIN.
