EVENT...ESE MOVING MCS
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THE ESE MOVING MCS CONTINUES TO SHOW
INTENSIFICATION AS CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE NOW AROUND -75C AND THE CLOUD
SHIELD CONTINUES TO EXPAND.  THE PATH THE MCS IS TAKING IS RIGHT ALONG
THE 850MB THETA-E RIDGE AXIS AND IS EXPECT TO CONTINUE MOVING ESE OVER
THE NEXT FEW HRS.  ANALYSIS OF SFC PW FIELD INDICATES A POOL OF 1.4-1.5"
CENTERED ACROSS SE KS AND WITH SSW 35KT LLVL JET..PER VWP/PROFILER DATA
AT 13Z..STRONG LLVL MOISTURE FLUX INTO THE MCS SHOULD CONTINUE AS THE
MCS PUSHES TO THE SE.
.
1-HR AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES SUGGEST AN AREA OF 1.5-1.7" OF RAINFALL HAS
FALLEN BETWEEN 13-14Z OVER JEWELL/REPUBLIC/CLOUD COUNTIES.  AT 1341Z
TRAINED SPOTTER REPORTED 1.65" FELL ENE OF COURTLAND IN REPUBLIC
COUNTY..WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT STLT ESTIMATES ARE HANDLING THIS
EVENT PRETTY WELL.  3-HR STLT ESTIMATES AMOUNTS FOR THIS SAME AREA
SHOW 2.2-2.7".
.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1.5-2.0" MAY BE VERY LIKELY OVER CLAY/RILEY/
GEARY/WABAUNSEE COUNITES IN THE NEXT HR AS RAINFALL RATES OF UP TO
2.0-3.0" ARE POSSIBLE.  VERY HVY RAINS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO
EASTERN KS AND N-W/W-CENTRAL MO AS THIS MCS PROGRESSES TO THE ESE OVER
THE NEXT FEW HRS.
