EVENT...CONVECTIVE BANDS SHEARING OUT TO NORTHEAST ACROSS FAR NE KS AND
SE NEBRASKA INTO W IA...WILL SET UP AREA ACROSS C KS/SE NEBRASKA FOR
LATER TODAY...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MODERATE MOISTURE PLUME IN PLACE FROM
CENTRAL TX TO C/E KS.  CURRENT CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO GET FURTHER
AWAY FROM MAIN UPPER SUPPORT STILL BACK IN COLORADO/N NM AND EDGE OF
DEEPER MOISTURE IN KANSAS...SO WOULD EXPECT WEAKENING AND DECREASING
OVERALL PRECIP RATES AS CONVECTION/MDT RAIN CONTINUES MOVING NORTHEAST
OUT OF NEBRASKA INTO IA AND NE KS THRU NW MO INTO IA.   THIS SET UP
DRY LINE/PW MOISTURE GRADIENT FOR LATER TODAY WHEN TROUGH IN ROCKIES
COMES OUT INTO PLAINS AND WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT FOR LATER TODAY.
