EVENT...PSBL MCS FORMATION OVER NW QUARTER OF SD
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CLUSTER OF INCRG TSTMS..BOTH NUMBER
AND INTENSITY..HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER THE EVENT AREA OVER THE PAST
2-3 HRS. THIS COINCIDES WITH MAX AREA OF SFC CONVERGENCE. OVERALL..WV
IMAGERY SHOWS PACIFIC-ORIGIN WV PLUME EXTENDING ACRS WY AND WRN/NRN
SD.. AS SHORT WAVE OVER ID MOVES EWD. TSTMS HAVE BEEN INCRG OVER SE WY/NE
CO/E CO IN ADDITION TO NW/W SD. COLDEST CONVECTIVE TOPS ARE OVER THE
COUNTIES OF HARDING/BUTTE/PERKINS/MEADE. MOVEMENT OF ALL CELLS..CO AND
SD..ARE TWD THE E. BUT WITH THE INCR IN NUMBER OF CELLS..WOULD EXPECT
SOME MERGERS TO OCCUR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HRS.. ESP INVOF BUTTE
AND MEADE.  GIVEN THE STRONG SFC CONVERGENCE/TRENDS IN IR IMAGERY /
AND EWD PROGRESSION OF IDAHO SHORT WAVE..WOULD EXPECT A REASONABLY GOOD
CHANCE OF MCS FORMATION THIS EVE OVER NW QUARTER OF SD.
