EVENT...LINE OF HVY RAIN FROM CELL MERGERS MOVING NEWD
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...MULTIPLE CELLS HAVE BEEN SEEN MERGING
ACROSS NW PORTIONS OF KS THE PAST 1-2 HRS.  AS THESE CELLS MERGE AND MOVE
NEWD THEY HAVE EVOLVED INTO A LINEAR-TYPE ORIENTATION AND INDIVIDUAL
CELLS APPEAR TO BE MOVING ALONG THIS AXIS MAKING CONDITIONS RIPE FOR
TRAINING.  COLDEST CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE SEEN OVER DECATUR/NORTON AND
SHERIDAN COUNTIES IN NW KS. STLT ESTIMATES SUGGESTS RAIN RATES UPWARDS OF
1.5-2.0"/HR ARE POSSIBLE FROM THIS LINE.  EVEN THOUGH CELLS ARE MOVING
QUICKLY..CELL TRAINING IS WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.  CAUSE FOR CONCERN WHERE
HVY RAINS FROM THIS LINE COULD RESULT IN 1.0-1.5" IN 60-90 MIN PERIOD
ARE SHERIDAN/GRAHAM/NORTON COUNTIES IN KS.  IF CELLS CONTINUE ON THEIR
CURRENT PATH FURNAS AND HARLAN COUNTIES IN S NE MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING.
