EVENT...SW-NE ORIENTED HVY RAINS ALONG FRNTL BNDRY
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THIN LINE OF STORMS PRESENT ALONG THE
FRNT EXIST FROM S CENTRAL NEWD INTO N CENTRAL IA WHERE A SMALL CLUSTER OF
STORMS EXISTS ORIENTED WSW TO ENE AND IS NOW MOVING INTO EXTREME SE MN. OF
COURSE THIS ENTIRE AREA HAS BEEN VERY SATURATED FROM YDAYS HVY RAINFALL
EVENT AND OTHERS OVER THE PAST WEEK. B/C OF THIS..LITTLE IS NEEDED FOR HVY
RAINS TO OVERTAKE THE LOW FFG PRESENT..ESPECIALLY IN IA/SE MN/SW WI. CLOUD
TOPS HAVE SHOWN A FAIRLY RAPID COOLING TREND FROM KSDA TO NEAR KFOD IN IA
AND UNFORTUNATELY WITH SLOW/LITTLE MOVEMENT OF THE FRNT TO THE E..CELLS
WILL BE ALIGNED PREDOMINANTLY OVER THE SAME AREAS FOR TRAINING. THIN
LINE WILL ALLOW FOR RAINFALL TO STAY OVER A SMALLER AREA BUT WILL ALSO
PROVIDE FOR MORE INTENSE RAIN RATES. GOES SOUNDER/GPS VALUES INDICATE
PW'S OF 1.8-2" AVAILABLE ACROSS E KS/NW MO/S CENTRAL AND SE IA INTO SE MN.
.
AUTOESTIMATOR INDICATING RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 0.7-0.8" OVER W IA IN THE HR
ENDING 1915Z WITH CELLS ONLY INCREASING/COOLING EVEN MORE IN THE 30 MIN
SINCE THEN. OVER N IA/SE MN MAX AMOUNTS WERE AROUND 0.5-0.6". AMOUNTS
FOR BOTH AREAS MAY BE A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH TOO LOW BASED OF MANUEL
ESTIMATES BUT SHOWED THE LOCATIONS OF HVY RAINS WELL OVER THE PAST HR. 850
WINDS PER VWPS IN E KS/IA SHOW THAT FLOW HAS WEAKENED A LITTLE BUT IS
BECOMING MORE SRLY IN E KS RATHER THAN SWRLY TO ALIGN BETTER FOR HVY RAINS
INTO IA. TWO S/WV IMPULSES IN WV IMAGERY WILL ALSO ADD INTO THE MIX..ONE
NOW INVOF NE KS/SE NE AND ANOTHER LARGER IMPULSE CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS
THE OK PANHANDLE. BOTH WILL ENHANCE STORMS FOR PERIODS OF HVY RAINFALL
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. SEE WEB ADDRESS BELOW FOR ESTIMATES GRAPHIC.
