.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CELLS WHICH WERE MOVING AT A GOOD PACE
ACROSS NE MO THIS MORNING HAVE SUDDENLY BECOME ANCHORED..AT LEAST FOR
THE MOMENT JUST E OF THE MO/IL BORDER. SEVERAL CELLS MERGED TOGETHER AS
THEY CROSSED INTO WRN IL TO FORM A SMALL N-S ORIENTED LINE WITH CLOUD
TOP TEMPS OF -65C. IR IMAGERY SHOWS THE UPWIND EDGE OF THE CLUSTER HAS
BEEN STNRY SINCE ABOUT 1245Z. VIS ALSO DEPICTS SOME ADDTL SMALL CELLS
FEEDING INTO THE SWRN EDGE OF THE STORMS HELPING TO MAINTAIN THE LINE
OVER ADAMS/PIKE/CALHOUN/AND GREENE COUNTIES. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES
INDICATED BETWEEN 1.5 TO NEARING 2" OVER SE ADAMS/PIKE COUNTY FOR THE 3
HRS ENDING 1315Z THOUGH  NEARLY ALL OF THAT HAS OCCURRED SINCE 12Z. CELLS
APPEAR TO BE TRYING TO FILL IN BETWEEN THE LARGE CELL OVER OSAGE COUNTY/MO
AND THE SWRN END OF THE STORMS NEAR THE IL/MO BORDER THAT COULD ALSO
ALLOW FOR SOME HVY RAINS OVER PIKE/LINCOLN COUNTIES IN MO. BELIEVE THAT
ONCE THAT CELL AND THE BNDRY THAT APPEARS TO STRETCH SWD FROM IT MOVES
FAR ENOUGH E IT SHOULD ALLOW FOR MOVEMENT OF THE CELLS ALONG THE IL/MO
BORDER. THAT MAY ALLOW FOR ANOTHER 60-90 MIN OF HVY RAINFALL THOUGH FOR
THE ABOVE MENTIONED COUNTIES. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR STLT ESTIMATE GRAPHIC.
