EVENT...NARROW ANOMALOUS MOISTURE PLUME WITH VERY GOOD MOISTURE
TRANSPORT...MOVING SLOWLY EAST...HVY RAIN AND FF CONCERNS...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WELL DEFINED NARROW PRECIP WATER PLUME
OR CONCENTRATION OF HIGHEST MOISTURE WAS FROM EASTERN HALF OF KS THRU
W IOWA THRU SE MN/W WI.  TRANSPORT WINDS THE BEST FROM NE KS THRU
SE MN/W WI...SO WILL FIRST CONCENTRATE ON THIS AREA AND EAST FOR HVY RAIN
BURSTS AND LOCALIZED FLOODING.   CENTRAL KS CONVECTION WILL HAVE HVY RAIN
BUT THINK ADDITIONAL ASPECTS OF SEVERE WEATHER AND DRIER AIR/LOWER PW
VALUES COMING INTO THIS AREA MAKE THIS AREA MARGINAL FOR FF THREAT...BUT
STILL A CONCERN BUT NOT AS MUCH AS AREAS FURTHER TO THE
NORTHEAST.  LOCAL PW ANALYSIS THIS EVENING SHOWED A TONGUE OF MINIMUM PW
VALUES EXTENDING FROM OHIO VALLEY INTO W IL/EXT E IA AND THIS ESSENTIALLY
PROVIDING SOME BLOCK TO CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS SE/E NEBRASKA AND W
AND C IOWA...SO EVEN THOUGH CONVECTION WILL BE BLOCKED FROM RAPIDLY
MOVING EAST...SLOW MOVEMENT WILL GIVE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO PUT DOWN 1-2
INCHES OF RAIN IN A 30-60 MINUTE TIME PERIOD AND SLOW STEADY MOVEMENT
EAST...ESPECIALLY IN IA AND SE MN WILL INSURE HVY RAIN APPROACHING
GROUND ZERO OF WETNESS OVER THE PAST MONTH NEAR THE IA-MN-WI BORDER AREA.
ALSO UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT STILL HANGING BACK IN MONTANA AND THE ROCKIES
AND POLAR JET STILL BACL ACROSS NV TO S CO INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND
THIS INSURES CONTINUED SLOW MOVEMENT TO CONVECTIVE BAND FROM KS/NEBRASKA
THRU SE/E MN AND W WI.   WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...SENDING SATELLITE
