SATELLITE ANALYSIS BRANCH/NESDIS---NPPU---TEL.301-763-8678
LATEST DATA USED: GOES-12 1955Z    CW

EVENT...TRAINING OF CELLS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH NEW DEVELOPING TSTMS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST VIS STLT IMAGERY SHOWS S-N
ORIENTED CU/TCU FIELD ACROSS W KS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP INTO INDIVIDUAL
CONVECTIVE CELLS.  THESE CELLS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE NWD..PARALLEL
TO MID/LLVL FLOW ACROSS W KS INTO S-W NE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS.
CONCERN IS FOR ADDITIONAL HVY RAINS TO FALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF NW KS/SW
NE WHERE HVY RAINFALL HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MOST OF THE DAY.  AREAS OF
GREATEST CONCERN INCLUDE COUNTIES OF SHERIDAN AND DECATUR IN KS NWD
INVOF LINCOLN COUNTY NE.
.
WV IMAGERY INDICATES W-E ORIENTED S/WV MOVING NWRD ACROSS CO AT THIS
TIME ALONG WITH AN EMBEDDED VORT MAX.  AS THESE MID-LVL FEATURES CONTINUE
TO APPROACH THE DISCUSSION REGION PROVIDING ENHANCED UVVS IT SEEMS VERY
LIKELY THAT NUMEROUS TSTMS ARE GOING TO DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT 1-3 HRS.
WITH THE EXPECTED NWD MOVEMENT OF ANY TSTMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG WITH
PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY LLVL FLOW ALLOWING MOISTURE TRANSPORT OF 1.0-1.2"
PW VALUES NWD FROM THE PANHANDLE OF TX/W OK/W KS TRAINING OF CELLS
APPEARS VERY LIKELY AND WOULD PROLONG ANY HVY RAINFALL OVER LOCALIZED
AREAS WITHIN THE DISCUSSION AREA.  RAINFALL RATES OF UP TO 1.0-1.5"/HR
IS POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.
