.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...STLT IMAGERY SHOWS AN IMPRESSIVE MCS
SITUATED OVER N IA/SE MN/SW AND CENTRAL WI WHICH HAS CLOUD TOP TEMPS TO
-72C. COLDEST CLOUD TOPS EXIST FROM WORTH/HANCOCK COUNTIES IN N IA TO
JUNEAU COUNTY IN WI WITH VERY HVY RAIN OCCURRING ALONG THIS LINE. VIS
IMAGERY INDICATES MULTIPLES OVERSHOOTING TOPS ALONG THE LINE WITH THE
MOST VIGOROUS ONES BEING OVER N CENTRAL IA. ADDITIONALLY CELLS HAVE DVLPD
NEAR THE SFC LOW EXTENDING FROM FAR E NE NEWD INTO W CENTRAL IA THAT
ARE BEGINNING TO MERGE INTO A COMPLETE LINE WITH THE MCS. PART OF THIS
LINE IS IN THE PROCESS CURRENTLY OF MERGING..CAUSING VERY HVY RAINS OVER
HANCOCK COUNTY. OTHER MERGERS WILL LIKELY BE OCCURRING OVER SAC/CALHOUN
COUNTIES..HARRISON/CRAWFORD COUNTIES AND LIKELY OTHER COUNTIES IN SE NE
AS MORE CNVTN DVLPS TO FILL IN ALONG THE BNDRY.
.
VERY STRONG SFC MOISTURE CONV IS PRESENT ALONG THE FRNT THROUGH IA
EXTENDING SWWD INTO SE NE AS WARM MOIST SWRLY SFC FLOW MEETS COOLER/DRIER
NRLY SFC WINDS OUT OF CENTRAL MN/E SD. CONTINUED DEEP MOIST FLOW HAS
ALLOWED FOR PW'S OF 1.8-1.9" TO POOL IN THE WARM SECTOR S OF CNVTN. EXPECT
CELLS WILL CONTINUE TO TRAIN OVER BASICALLY THE SAME AREAS WITH FRNT VERY
SLOWLY SINKING SEWD ACROSS N IA/SE MN/S WI BUT REMAINING RELATIVELY STNRY
OVER EXTREME E CENTRAL NE AND W CENTRAL IA PER VIS STLT IMAGERY SHOWING
PIVOTING OF FRONTAL BNDRY AROUND SFC LOW. AUOMATED STLT ESTIMATES SHOW
1-2" OVER N IA/SE MN INTO W WI WITH A MAX OF 2.1" IN VERNON COUNTY WI FOR
THE 3 HRS ENDING 2345Z. THESE ESTIMATES ARE LIKELY UNDERDONE THOUGH DUE
TO THE TRAINING OF CELLS/MERGERS THAT HAVE OCCURRED AND BELIEVE UP TO
2.5-3.5" IN THE PAST 3 HRS IS MORE LIKELY. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR SATELLITE
ESTIMATE GRAPHIC.
