SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BASED ON THE LATEST TRENDS FROM STLT
A CLUSTER OF TSTMS MOVING NEARLY DUE N ACROSS E OK APPEARS HEADED FOR
E KS AND S AND EASTERN MO.  SFC ANALYSIS AT 22Z REVEALS BEST MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE AXIS ALIGNED SW-NE ACROSS E OK AND INTO SE KS/SW MO ALONG
WITH A TONGUE OF HIGHER DEW POINT VALUES (60-64F) STRETCHING AS FAR NORTH
AS KDMO IN MO. IR IMAGERY SHOWS AN AREA OF COLDER CLOUD TOPS ASSOCIATED
WITH TSTMS ALREADY OVER PARTS OF E KS BEGINNING TO WARM..VERY LIKELY
WEAKENING FROM ITS SOUTHERN MOISTURE SUPPLY CHAIN BEING CUTOFF BY THE
CONVECTION OVER E OK MOVING NWD.  THE CLUSTER OF TSTMS MOVING UP FROM
THE NORTH CONTINUES TO SHOW CLOUD TOP COOLING AND EXPANSION WITH COLDEST
TOPS NEAR -67C.  THESE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE AND
INTENSIFY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HRS AS THEY MOVE NWD.  VIS IMAGERY SEEMS TO
SUGGEST THAT SOME CELL MERGERS MAY OCCUR BETWEEN THE WEAKENING CELLS NOW
OVER E KS AND THOSE MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTH..WITH THE MOST LIKELY AREAS
TO BE INVOF ANDERSON..ALLEN..LINN.. BOURBON COUNTIES IN E KS.  AS THESE
TSTMS MOVE OVER THE DISCUSSION AREA OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HRS..RAINFALL
AMOUNTS MAY REACH AS HIGH AS 1.0-1.5" COMING CLOSE TO 3-HR FFG VALUES
SEEN OVER CENTRAL W MO AND NE KS.
