SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MID/UPPER LOW IN EAST CENTRAL KANSAS
MOVING NORTHWESTWARD.  THIS MOVEMENT COULD KEEP THE BAND OF THE HEAVIEST
SNOW QUASISTATIONARY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. EXPERIMENTAL DENDRITIC
SNOW ALGORITHM IS HIGHLIGHTING A BAND FROM SOUTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA TO
EXTREME SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA WITH A SECONDARY MAX IN SOUTH/CENTRAL
SOUTH DAKOTA. . THIS IS JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE COLD
CLOUDTOPS WHICH IS USUALLY WHERE THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED
WITH THE COMMA HEAD FALL. HYDROESTIMATOR IS INDICATING 3-5 TENTHS LIQUID
OVER THE PAST 3 HOURS WHICH IS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THE 3 HOUR
AMOUNTS ENDING AT 21Z.
THUS 6 HOUR TOTALS OF 5-9 INCHES SEEM REASONABLE.  LATEST IMAGERY DOES
INDICATE SOME WARMING TO TOPS ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE AND WITHIN THE
COMMA HEAD SO SNOWFALL RATES COULD BE LESSONING.
