EVENT...COOLING AND EXPANDING OF SLOW-MOVING CONVECTIVE LINE
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...HAS CONVECTION ACROSS E NE/NW IA AND SW MN
HAS CONTINUED TO INTENSIFY AS EXPECTED WITH CLOUD TOP TEMPS DOWN BETWEEN
-65 AND -71C (COLDEST ASSOCIATED WITH OVERSHOOTING TOPS OVER NW IA).
THESE COLD CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN EXPANDING OVER THE PAST 20-30 MINS AND
SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL CELLS HAVE BEEN SEEN MERGING WITH OTHERS ALONG THIS
SW-NE ORIENTED LINE.  LATEST VIS ANIMATION SUGGESTS THAT ADDITIONAL CELL
MERGERS ARE LIKELY OVER THE NEXT 30-60 MINS ACROSS E NE/NW IA..WHICH
MAY VERY LIKELY RESULT IN LOCALIZED HVY RAIN RATES ABOVE 1.0-1.25"/HR.
PW VALUES ACROSS THIS AREA REMAIN AOA 1.6" PER SFC AND GOES SOUNDER
ANALYSIS.
