EVENT...LINEAR MCS STILL PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS AREA FROM
SE NEB TO W MO.
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SLIGHT VEERING OF THE LOW LEVEL JET
PER RECENT DATA FROM PROFILER NETWORK/REGIONAL VWP HAS BEEN NOTED
ACROSS S CENT KS/N CENT OK WHICH HAS BEEN AIDING REDEVELOPMENT ALONG
SW PORTION OF ELEVATED LINEAR MCS. MID LEVEL FORCING ALSO CONTINUES
TO DRIVE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WITH MORE STABLE EASTERLY SFC FLOW NOTED
UNDERCUTTING MCS. BEST IR SATELLITE SIGNATURE EXISTS ACROSS REGION
EXTENDING ROUGHLY FROM JEFFERSON/GAGE/PAWNEE COUNTIES OF SE NEB TO NEAR
THE KANSAS CITY AREA. AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATING TECHNIQUES ARE
INDICATING A SWATH OF 2-4" ESTIMATED RAINS ALONG THIS AXIS WITH A MAX OF
OVER 4" IN THE GENERAL VICINITY OF JACKSON/JEFFERSON/W ATCHISON COUNTIES
OF NE KS WHICH IS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH EARLIER REPORT (HOUR AGO)
OF 3.76" IN VALLEY FALLS RELAYED VIA 12 PLANET FROM TOPEKA. BASED ON
TRENDS BELIEVE RAINFALL TOTALS EXCEEDING 5" ARE LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF
NORTHEASTERN KS. SATELLITE/COMPOSITE RADAR TRENDS ALSO SUGGEST JUST THE
SLIGHTEST DRIFT TO THE NE OF THE CORE OF THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY SO EXPECT
HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT TO PERSIST FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 1 TO POSSIBLY 2
HOURS WITH THE KANSAS CITY METRO REGION SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED.
