KS WHICH HAVE BEEN DVLPING OVER E TREGO/ELLIS/RUSSELL COUNTIES DURING THE
PAST HR AND MOVING E FROM THERE..ARE STARTING TO MOVE NWD. AN OUTFLOW
BNDRY CAN BE SEEN MOVING MOVING SWWD THROUGH KS TWDS THE OK BORDER AND
SINCE IT PUSHED OUT FAIRLY RAPID CLOUD TOP WARMING HAS OCCURRED ON IR
IMAGERY AND IS NOW AT -55C. 12Z PW ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT RICH MOISTURE WAS
PRESENT FROM E TX NWD THROUGH OK INTO SW/CENTRAL KS AND GOES SOUNDER/GPS
VALUES INDICATE THAT THE MOISTURE HAS INCREASED SINCE THEN WITH PW VALUES
AROUND 1" NOW. LI'S HAVE REACHED -5 JUST N OF CURRENT CNVTN AS WELL
AS OVER SW KS/OK PANHANDLE. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES INDICATED BETWEEN
1.3-1.7" OVER ELLIS/RUSSELL COUNTIES FOR THE 3 HR PERIOD ENDING 1630Z. NEW
TOWERING C ARE SEEN ON VIS TO THE N INVOF OSBORNE/ROOKS COUNTIES WHICH
IS WHERE STORMS APPEAR TO BE HEADED. WITH LOWER FFG OVER THE NRN PART OF
KS..ANY CELLS THAT AGAIN REDEVELOP OVER THE SAME AREAS AS THEY DID FOR
ELLIS/RUSSELL RECENTLY MAY CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
