EVENT...DEVELOPING CONVECTION EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE ORGANIZED THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONVECTION HAS FINALLY BEGUN TO DEVELOP
AND IS MOVING NEWD OUT AHEAD OF A SW-NE ORIENTED SFC COLD FRONT DRAPED
ACROSS E CO/W KS/SW NE.  VIS STLT ANIMATION SHOWS RAPID EXPANSION OF
CU/TCU AS THESE CELLS INTENSIFY.  UPPER LVL WIND FIELD BASED OFF WV
SHOWS UPPER LVL DIVERGENCE INCREASING ACROSS KS/CENTRAL AND EASTERN NE
WHICH MAY SUGGEST UVVS TO BE ALSO INCREASING OVER THIS AREA.
.
FURTHERMORE..A MID-LVL S/WV LOCATED OVER NE CO/NORTHWEST NE/W SD IS
SWINGING EWD AND IS LIKELY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL MID-LVL LIFT ACROSS THE
DISCUSSION AREA.  A RATHER IMPRESSIVE 120-140 KT JET STREAK IS ANALYZED
TO BE POSITIONED ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN CO AND THIS PLACES THE EXIT
REGION OF THIS JET STREAK ACROSS NE/KS BORDER AND SHOULD ACT TO INCREASE
THE UPPER-LVL DIVERGENCE FURTHER.
.
PW VALUES ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN KS/NE ARE AOA 1.0" WITH A
POOL OF 1.6" SEEN OVER NE KS/E NE IN 19Z SFC ANALYSIS.  NOW IF THAT WASNT
ENOUGH A STRONG SOUTHERLY 30-35 KT LLVL JET IS SEEN IN THE PROFILER DATA
ACROSS OK/KS/NE.  WITH PW VALUES ACROSS THIS AREA BETWEEN 1.2-1.3"..LLVL
MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS ACROSS KS/NE IS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS.
.
WITH ALL THIS SAID HVY RAINS FROM ORGANIZING CONVECTIVE CELLS IS EXPECTED
TO ENFOLD LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS N KS/CENTRAL AND
EASTERN NE.  SINCE MOD/HVY RAINS FELL ACROSS THIS REGION LAST NIGHT..FFG
VALUES ARE VERY LOW..PARTICULARLY ACROSS NORTHEASTERN NE.  THE POTENTIAL
EXISTS FOR 1-2" OF RAINFALL TONIGHT ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA.
