.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER
KS/NE BOARDER NEAR NORTON/FURNAS COUNTIES CONTINUES TO TRACK SEWARD
INTO AN AREA OF LOWER FFG VALUES THAT MORE THAN LIKELY WILL BE EXCEEDED
BY THE OUTPUT OF THE COMPLEX.  IR TOPS SHOW INTERESTING SIGNATURE WITH
UPWIND EDGE OR U-SHAPED COLD TOPS THAT DO NOT MATCH UP WITH MOST VIGOROUS
OVERSHOOTING TOPS UNDER VERY GOOD DIFFLUENT FLOW.  STILL GOOD SELY SFC
FLOW OF UPPER 50S TD (PWS OVER 1.10")...WILL SUPPORT TOTALS OF 1.5"
IN ONE HOUR WITH THE STRONGEST CORES OVER N NORTON AND NEWLY DEVELOPED
TOPPED IN NW SHERIDAN COUNTIES ATTM...CURRENT 1HR FFG VALUES IN THE 2-2.5"
RANGE DECREASE TO 1.4 AND LOWER AS INTO S GID AND NW ICT CWA...

SFC BOUNDARY IS WELL DISPLACED NORTWARD OVER SW NE AT THIS TIME...BUT
WITH GOOD STRONG WESTERLY FLOW ROUNDING THE TOP OF THE RIDGE HAS LEAD
TO SOME UPSTREAM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY OVER HAYES COUNTY NE
SO SOME ISOLATED RETRACKING OF CELLS COULD LEAD TO VERY ISOLATED FF
SITUATIONS LATER TONIGHT AS WELL.
