.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LATEST IR IMAGERY SHOWS CONSOLIDATED
BATCH OF VERY COLD CLOUD TOPS AND ASSOCIATED INTENSE RAINFALL RATES
ESTIMATED TO AT LEAST 3"/HR ACROSS PORTIONS OF S CENT KS AND N CENT
OK. AUTOMATED SATELLITE ESTIMATING TECHNIQUES ARE SHOWING OVER 4"
DURING PAST SEVERAL HOURS FOR WESTERN OSAGE COUNTY OF N OK NEAR THE
KAY BORDER. SLIGHTLY NORTH OF THERE ESTIMATES ARE IN THE 2-3" RANGE
WITH ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS FOR PORTIONS OF APPROXIMATE KS COUNTIES
OF HARVEY/SEDGWICK/BUTLER/SUMNER/COWLEY. FOR WESTERN OK STILL WATCHING
CLUSTER CENTERED OVER ROGER MILLS COUNTY WHICH IS MOVING VERY SLOWLY
EASTWARD INTO CUSTER/WASHITA COUNTIES. RATES ARE ESTIMATED THERE AT WELL
OVER 2"/HR AND SATELLITE ESTIMATED TOTALS ARE INCREASING TO NEAR 3" FOR
ROGER MILLS. OTHER AREA OF CONCERN IN ACROSS W CENT AR WHERE NEW CELLS
CONTINUE TO FORM TO THE SOUTH OF ORIGINAL LINE AND MERGE WITH OLD LINE
RESULTING IN LOCALIZED BATCHES OF INTENSE RAINFALL PARTICULARLY OVER
PORTIONS OF YELL/S PERRY/GARLAND/MONTGOMERY COUNTIES. SPOTTY ESTIMATED
TOTALS OF 1.5-2.0" HAVE OCCURRED IN JUST THE PAST HOUR IN THAT REGION.
.
OUTLOOK...CURRENTLY IR LOOP ALONG WITH RADAR COMPOSITE LOOP SHOW THE
CORE OF THE PRIMARY MCS ALONG THE KS-OK BORDER APPEARS TO BE MOVING
EASTWARD. HOWEVER WITH ACTIVITY OVER W CENT OK ALSO NOW MOVING EASTWARD
AND CELLS STILL POPPING UP ACROSS W CENT AR, BELIEVE THE FOCUS FOR THE
HEAVIEST RAINS MAY SHIFT A BIT MORE TO THE SOUTH DURING THE REMAINDER
OF THE NIGHT OVER AREAS FROM CENT AND NE OK INTO W CENT AR. HEAVY RAIN
THREAT STILL EXISTS THOUGH AS WELL FOR SE KS/SW MO WHICH ARE EAST OF THE
MCV ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE APPARENT LOWER FFG VALUES THERE. AN ANNOTATED
SATELLITE GRAPHIC WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET AT THE ADDRESS LISTED
BELOW IN APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES.
