.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...POTENT S/WV SEEN ON WV IMAGERY CROSSING
INTO W KS/W NE HAS ENHANCED CELL ACTIVITY OVER THOSE AREAS EVEN WITH THE
LOW LVL MOISTURE PLUME TO THE E AS DEPICTED BY 12Z PW ANALYSIS. CONCERN
IS FOR THE AREAS WITH LOWER FFG..PARTICULARLY ALONG THE NE/KS BORDER AND
IN N CENTRAL KS THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY MOD TO POTENTIALLY BRIEF HVY
RAINS. GOES STLT WINDS INDICATED A SLIGHT AREA OF UPPER LVL DVG MOVING
WITH THE S/WV OUT OF NE CO THAT IS ASSISTING TO PROVIDE LIFT OVER SW NE/NW
KS. CLOUD TOP TEMPS ON THE SW NE STORMS WERE BETWEEN -55 TO -57C WHILE THE
CELLS OVER W KS ARE AT -61C. WHILE VIS IMAGERY HAS SHOWN SOME OF THE CELLS
ATTEMPTING TO BACKBUILD..THEY APPEAR TO DO SO FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. HAVE
NOTICED THE CELLS OVER N FINNEY/S LANE/SCOTT/WICHITA/GREELEY COUNTIES IN
W KS ARE MOST ACTIVE BACKBUILDING ONES THOUGH. EWD PROGRESSION OF S/WV
AND 40-50KT WRLY/NWRLY UPPER LVL FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS SHOULD
KEEP MOST OF THE CELLS ON THE MOVE. EXPECT THE STORMS TO MOVE SEWD ACROSS
S CENTRAL NE/KS DURING THE NEXT FEW HRS WITH SOME ENHANCING POSSIBLE AS
DIURNAL HEATING AHEAD OF THE STORMS INCREASES INSTABILITY OVER S CENTRAL
NE/N CENTRAL AND CENTRAL KS. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS INDICATES STORMS ARE
PRESENTLY ALONG AND JUST W OF THE THETA-E AXIS THAT STRETCHES ACROSS
CENTRAL OK/E KS/E NE. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES SHOW AMOUNTS JUST OVER 1"
OVER SW LANE/SE SCOTT FOR 3 HRS ENDING 16Z BUT WITH THE BACKBUILDING
OCCURRING THESE AMOUNTS MAY BE SLIGHTLY UNDERDONE.
