SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST PRECIPITABLE WATER MOISTURE
ANALYSIS SHOWED A WELL DEFINED PLUME OR CONCENTRATION OF HIGHEST MOISTURE
MS/E LA TO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND FROM THERE ORIENTED IN A CONVEYOR
BELT MANNER IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS BACK INTO IOWA AND MINNESOTA TO SD
AND NEBRASKA AND EVEN TRYING TO FILTER AS FAR WEST AS
E WY AND NE COLORADO.  UPPER LOW APPEARS TO BE REFORMING ALONG THE
NEBRASKA-IA BORDER WITH THE OLD CENTER OR VORT SWINGING SE INTO NW KS.
STRONG DEFORMATION HELPING PRECIP ACTIVITY ACROSS N NEBRASKA WITH SMALLER
AREA WEAKENING JUST TO THE NORTH FROM OLD/DYING DEFORMATION AREA FROM
SD TO N MN.  WOULD EXPECT NEW BAND DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL
AND N IA TO BECOME DOMINANT BAND TO PRODUCE MODERATE TO HVY PRECIPITATION
AND GET THROWN BACK INTO CURRENT DEFORMATION AREA ACROSS S SD AND NE TO
C NEBRASKA.  FAR ENOUGH WEST WITH SUCH COLD TEMPS PRECIPITATION WILL BE
SNOW AND POSSIBLY REACHING AS HIGH AS 1-1.5"/HR.  NEW PIVOT AREA SEEMS
TO BE DEVELOPING NEAR THE BORDERS OF SE SD...NE NEBRASKA...SW MN AND
NW IA AND WOULD EXPECT THAT AREA TO HAVE MOST PERSISTENT MODERATE TO
HVY PRECIP NEXT FEW HRS.   WILL MONITOR THE EVOLUTIONARY TRANSITIONS
OF THE LOW AND PIVOT AREAS AND DEFORMATIONS AS THEY VERY SLOWLY MIGRATE
