SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG PICTURE ITEMS HAD UPPER LOW SINKING
SE ACROSS SW MONTANA AS JET AXIS STILL COMING AROUND SW QUAD OF TROUGH
THRU NE CA INTO NV.  EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE JET UT THRU WY NOSING INTO
NW SD AND ND AND PROVIDING UPPER LEVEL DIFFLUENCE AND SHORT WAVE LIFT.
AT THE SAME TIME ALREADY EXISTING DEEP MOISTURE INCREASING IA-NEBRASKA
INTO S MN AND SD AND ABOUT TO GET MORE MOISTURE LATER TONIGHT FROM KS
AS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND ON INTO MO.  SO EXPECTING
HIGHEST AMOUNTS NEXT 6HRS IN THE FAR N SD THRU S THIRD OF
ND AREA AND THOUGH GROUND HERE NOT QUITE AS WET AS AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND
SE...CERTAINLY COULD BE ENOUGH FOR KEEP AN EYE ON ANY POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
THRU WED MORNING.  IT IS A BIT DECEIVING LOOKING AT THE PW NUMBERS NOW
AT CLOSE 1.0" BUT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND ESPECIALLY LATER
TONIGHT AS DEEPER MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH AND SE GET INVOLVED SO THAT PW
MOISTURE MAY START APPROACHING 2 STANDARD DEVS TOWARD 12Z JUST TO THE
SOUTH IN SE SD AND NW IA AS MOISTURE TRANSPORT ADVECTS THAT INTO ND.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
