SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BROAD SCALE ASCENT AHEAD OF WEAK SHORTWAVE
HAS LEAD TO MULTIPLE AREAS OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.  EARLIER DEVELOPING
LINE ACROSS CENTRAL IA ALONG WELL DEFINED MOISTURE GRADIENT CONTINUES
TO COOL ON IR LOOP WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS MOVING SSE THAT LEAD TO SOME
TRAINING ACROSS CLARKE COUNTY...BUT OUTFLOW AND MAXIMIZED SFC MST
CONVERGENCE OVER SW IA HAS LEAD TO A SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LINE
TOWARD A NEWLY DEVELOPING LINE OF CELLS FROM SHARPY COUNTY NE TO TAYLOR
COUNTY IA.  THESE CELLS HAVE RAPIDLY DEVELOPED WITH TOPS COOLING TO
-62C... THIS LINE IS MERGING ACROSS ADAMS TO DECATUR COUNTIES AND LEADING
TO EXTREME RATES ALONG THIS AREA...SO QUICK 2" TOTALS CAN BE EXPECTED.
AS THIS MERGES IT WILL CONTINUE MOTION TOWARD THE SSE INTO NW AND NC
MO...WHERE THERE IS CURRENTLY A IMPRESSIVE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS
WITH -60C TOPS CAPABLE OF VERY HVY RAINFALL CAPABLE OF EXCEEDING 1HR
FFG VALUES WHICH ARE IN THE 1.5" RANGE.  LONG TERM MERGING AND TRAINING
OF HVY RAIN PRODUCING CELLS IS LIKELY ACROSS S IA AND NC MO THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS...FOR FF THREAT.
