SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RECENT IR TRENDS SHOW THE MAIN CLOUD
CLUSTER FROM KPAH TO KLOU HAS BEEN REMAINING CONSISTENT WITH A SWATH
OF -60 TO -70 INDICATING MODERATE TO HVY RAINFALL...WITH GPS NETWORK
RANGING FROM 1.2" NE TO 1.5" SSW... RATES OF .75"-1" CAN BE ESTIMATED.
850 ANALYSIS FROM WIND PROFILERS AND VWP NETWORK SHOWS THE NOSE OF VERY
STRONG 60-65KT LLJ COMING OUT OF THE BOOTHEEL OF MO... WHERE MAXIMIZED
CONFLUENCE IS OCCURRING....SO MOISTURE FLUX AND MST CONVERGENCE CONTINUE
TO MAXIMIZE OVER THE SW PORTION OF THE CLUSTER...AND HAD LEAD TO SOME
RECENT REDEVELOPMENT/CONSOLIDATION FOR INCREASED COOLING IN IR OVER
JEFFERSON TO SHELBY COUNTY AS WELL AS NEAR CRITTENDEN COUNTIES FURTHER SW.
IT IS WITH THESE -70 AND COLDER TOPS THAT RATES WILL INCREASE TO 1-1.25"
WITH LOWER PWS NEAR KLOU AND 1.25-1.5" WITH HIGHER VALUES NEARER KPAH.
WIND FIELDS THROUGH A VERY DEEP LOW LEVELS REMAIN NEARLY PARALLEL FOR
PROLONGED TRAINING WITH ONLY A SLIGHT SHIFT SSE OVER TIME.  THIS WILL
LEAD TO ECLIPSES OF FFG VALUES IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR SINCE THERE WAS
ALREADY THE CLUSTER AROUND 2200Z THAT SATURATED MUCH OF CENTRAL KY.
