SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...NOW OUT OF G-12 ECLIPSE...A BETTER VIEW
OF THE MCS ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO AND TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEYS SHOWS A
SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF THE COLD TOPS (-65 TO -70C) THAT WAS SEEN
OBLIQUELY FROM GOES WEST. STILL COMPARISON OF 0402Z TO 0645Z IMAGE
SHOWS THAT THE AXIS OF COLDEST TOPS HAS SHIFTED ONLY SLIGHTLY TO THE
SE FROM LIVINGSTON TO DAVIESS TO SHELBY AND NOW FROM LYON TO OHIO TO
ANDERSON. WITH VERY STRONG 850 LLJ /50-60KT/ CONTINUES TO PUMP IN VERY
HIGH MOISTURE WITH TD IN THE 60S AND PWS NEARING NEARING 1.5-1.6 PER GPS
NETWORK AND VERY GOOD UVV SUPPORT FROM DIVERGENCE ALOFT...THE COMPLEX
SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AS IT SLOWLY DRIFTS SE INTO AN AREA WITH MUCH LOWER
FFG VALUES AND CELL MOTIONS CONTINUE TO PROGRESS NE ALONG THE LINE (AS
CAN BE SEEN WITH THE OVERSHOOTING TOPS)...SO PROLONGED TRAINING WILL
CONTINUE LEADING TO 3HR TOTALS OF 2-3".   AT WEB ADDRESS BELOW IS A
GRAPHIC OF THE 3HR HYDROESTIMATOR TOTALS FROM 0402-0702Z...THE TOTALS
COULD BE A BIT HIGH DUE TO OVER ESTIMATION OF COLD TOPS ON GOES-WEST
FROM OBLIQUE LOOK. PARALLAX IS ACCOUNTED FOR SO THE COVERAGE IS GOOD.
