SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...S/WV IMPULSE IS SEEN IN WV IMAGERY
CONTINUING TO LIFT NEWD ALONG THE FRNTL BDNRY NOW BEGINNING TO EXIT NE
KS AND ENTER SE NE/SW IA/NW MO. IT IS PULLING NWD WITH IT QUITE A BIT
OF VERY RICH MOISTURE WITH PW VALUES OF 1.9-2.2" PER GPES VALUES/00Z
RAOBS. PW ANALYSIS AT 00Z SHOWED THE DEEP MOISTURE THAT CONTINUES
TO BE POOLED ALONG THE FRNTL BNDRY WITH 2.2" VALUES AT TOP AND 1.94"
AT DVN. LAST FEW VIS IMAGES OF THE DAY SHOWED THE BULK OF OVERSHOOTING
TOPS AND THUS STRONGEST CNVTN MOVING ACROSS SE KS..GOOD NEWS ABOUT THAT
THOUGH BEING THAT FFG THERE IS MUCH HIGHER THAN FARTHER TO THE N. A
FEW OVERSHOOTING TOPS WERE ALSO SEEN THOUGH CROSSING THE KMKC AREA
NEWD INTO MO BUT OTHER THAN IN SE KS..IT APPEARS PER IR THAT MOST OF
THE LINE EXTENDING ACROSS N MO INTO E IA HAS WARMED TO THE POINT THAT
CLOUD TOP TEMPS ARE ONLY -60C TO -65C. THIS OBSERVED WARMING TREND AND
FRAGMENTATION OBSERVED INDICATES WEAKENING FROM THE STORMS ALONG THE
LINE. THERE IS ANOTHER COLDER TOP MOVING NEWD OUT OF E IA WHICH APPEARS
TO BE MERGING WITH OTHER CELLS INVOF KMXO/KDMQ IN IA. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THESE AREAS BUT STLT TRENDS ARE CURRENTLY POINTING TO WEAKENING
CELLS FOR MO/IA/IL..LIKELY DUE TO LLJ BECOMING MORE SRLY ACROSS OK. WILL
HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON BOWED PORTION OF LINE SEEN ON RADAR IN SE KS AS
IT IS ASSCD STILL WITH -66C CLOUD TOPS AND WILL BE MOVING EWD INTO LOW
FFG AROUND AND N OF KJLN IN NEXT FEW HRS. HYDROESTIMATOR HAD SHOWN 1-2"
AMOUNTS FROM DOUGLAS COUNTY/KS TO CALDWELL COUNTY/MO DURING THE 3 HRS
ENDING 0200Z WITH MAXESOF 2.7" OVER NE DOUGLAS/NW JOHNSON..2.2" OVER SW
LEAVENWORTH..AND 2.5" OVER PLATTE AND CLAY COUNTIES IN MO. THOUGH HVY
RAINS HAVE MOVED E/SE OF THESE AREAS..SOME ADDTL CELLS ARE BEGINNING
TO FORM BEHIND THE FRNT AND MOVE OVER THESE SAME AREAS THAT ALREADY HAD
FFW OUT TONIGHT. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR GRAPHIC.
