EVENT...ADDITIONAL CELLS MERGING INTO SW FLANK OF LARGER TSTMS CLUSTER
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CLOUD SHIELD HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND AND
COOL OVER CENTRAL KS AS CLUSTER OF TSTMS INTENSIFIES.  STORMS APPEAR
TO NOT HAVE MOVED VERY MUCH IN THE LAST 1 HR AND BASED ON LATEST STLT
IMAGERY ADDITIONAL CELLS FROM THE SW ARE BEGINNING TO MERGE INTO THE
SWRN EDGE OF THE LARGER CLUSTER OF TSTMS.  THIS VERY LIKELY WILL CAUSE
HVY RAINS TO PERSIST OVER THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES IN CENTRAL KS FOR
THE NEXT HR AT LEAST...RUSH/BARTON/RUSSELL.  AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES
SUGGEST NEARLY 1.0" OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN THE LAST OVER THESE COUNTIES.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1.0-1.5" MAY OCCUR OVER THESE SAME AREAS
AS A RESULT OF THE MERGERS AND SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THESE STORMS.
