SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...HVY RAINS FROM A CLUSTER OF TSTMS
STREAMING ENEWD FROM N KS/E NE/SE SD/W IA ARE NOW BEGINNING TO MOVE
INTO CENTRAL  PORTIONS OF IA.  THESE STORMS HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF
PRODUCING 1-2" OF RAINFALL IN A 2-3 HR PERIOD AS THEY HAVE CROSSED NE/KS
THIS AFTERNOON.  LARGE CLOUD TOP TEMP SHIELD WITH VALUES OF -62C OR
COLDER ARE SEEN COVERING MUCH OF E NE/SE SD/W IA IN 0130Z IR IMAGERY.
LLVL MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS RATHER IMPRESSIVE ACROSS N MO/CENTRAL IA AS
A SOUTHERLY 40-45 KT LLVL IS SEEN IN LATEST PROFILER DATA ALONG WITH PW
VALUES AOA 1.4" FROM 01Z SFC ANALYSIS.
.
MOST OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN IA HAS ONLY SEEN A FEW HRS OF
PRECIPITATION-FREE CONDITIONS NOW THAT THE RAINS FROM EARLIER IN THE DAY
HAVE FINALLY PUSHED TO THE E ACROSS S MI/N IL.  WITH THE GROUND ALREADY
PRETTY WELL SATURATED AND HVY RAIN EXPECTED TO MOVE IN OVER THE NEXT FEW
HRS AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING AN ADDITIONAL 1-2" THIS EVENING..LOCALIZED
FLASH FLOODING APPEARS TO BE A VERY LIKELY SCENARIO.
