SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...RIGHT NOW CENTER OF CONCERN OVER IA AND
TO A LESSER EXTENT IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS.  BAROCLINIC LEAF CLOUD
SIGNATURE STILL IN PLACE NE KS TO SW/W CENTRAL IA TO NE IA AND BIGGEST
CONCERN NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF PIVOT BAND OF LEAF MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY
ACROSS NE KS AND SW IA.  SMALL AREA OF SATELLITE 3HR RAIN ESTIMATES OF
1.2" SHOWING UP W CENTRAL IA COUNTIES AND CONCERN IS THAT COULD INCREASE
A BIT THE FURTHER EAST ACROSS IA IN NARROW AREA THAT WOULD BE CONFINED
TO INTERIOR W CENTRAL TO CENTRAL IA AND THEN EVENTUALLY INTO
E IA THIS EVENING AND SW WI/W CENTRAL AND NW ILLINOIS OVERNIGHT.
PW MOISTURE PLUME HAS EXPANDED A BIT AND WAS CENTERED E TX TO EXT E OK/
AR AND NOSING INTO MO AND IA AND W IL.  MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO IOWA
STILL VERY GOOD FROM AR NORTHWARD AS SHORT WAVE FORCING E NEBRASKA MOVES
IN AND UPPER LOW CENTRAL NEBRASKA FOLLOWS BEHIND.  MOVEMENT WILL BE KEY
AND IT APPEARS LIKE THERE IS ENOUGH MOVEMENT OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES
TO PREVENT ANY WIDESPREAD FLOODING...EXCEPT IN IOWA WHERE SYNOPTIC
BOUNDARIES AND SATELLITE BAROCLINIC LEAF SIGNATURE MOST PROMINENT.
IT MAY COME DOWN TO HOW MUCH OF THE DEEP PW MOISTURE CAN WRAP BACK INTO
DEEPENING LOW AND VORT NOW MOVING ACROSS NEBRASKA.  WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR...SEE SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND GRAPHICAL PRODUCT OF SATELLITE
