SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...VIS IMAGERY SHOWS CLUSTER OF CU/TOWERING
CU AND CELLS STARTING TO INITIATE OVER EXTREME SE NE/NE KS INTO EXTREME
NW MO AND SW IA. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS INDICATES A NARROW SFC AREA OF
SFC MOISTURE CNVG EXISTS FROM NE KS/SE NE TO NE IA WHICH THE CELLS OVER
BENTON/IOWA/POWESHIEK/MAHASKA/MARION COUNTIES HAVE ALSO FORMED ALONG. NOT
A LOT OF MOISTURE POST-FRNTL TO WORK WITH..ONLY 0.7" TO AT MOST 1.1"
PW VALUES PRESENT PER GOES SOUNDER/GPS VALUES. LI'S OF -3 TO -4 ARE
PRESENT AS WELL. MODELS SEEM TO HAVE DONE POORLY WITH THE FORMATION OF
CELLS OVER THIS AREA AND IT APPEARS TO REASON FOR STORM INITIATION IS
A SMALL S/WV IMPULSE THAT WAS PULLED NWD OUT OF THE OK CNVTN EARLIER
AND PRESENCE OF AN UPPER LVL JET STREAK OVER W IA/SE MN. EXPECT CELLS
WILL EB MOSTLY WARM TOP AS THE ONE OVER IA IS ONLY AT -40C SO FAR AND
WILL MOVE FROM SW-NE WHILE THE AREA OF SFC CNVG PROPAGATES EWD. A FEW
OVERSHOOTING TOPS HAVE BEEN SEEN IN VIS ON THE STORM OVER E IA AND IT
ALONG WITH FORMING STORMS ARE LIKELY CAPABLE OF 0.4-0.7"/HR RAINFALL
RATES BUT LIKELY ANY ADDTL RAINS ON TOP OF ALREADY VERY SATURATED GROUND
WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS. SEE WEB ADDRESS IN ABUT 5-10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC.
