EVENT...CONVECTIVE COMPLEX JUST PAST PEAK AND SHOULD SLOWLY WEAKEN
THIS MORNING...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CONVECTIVE COMPLEX BASED ON SATELLITE
EXTENT OF COLDEST CLOUD TOPS REACHED IT PEAK IN THE 1015 TO 1115Z TIME
FRAME.  CAN EXPECT SLOW GRADUAL WEAKENING AS LOW LEVEL JET NARROWING
AND WEAKENING AND DEEPEST MOISTURE REMAINS CLOSE TO THE COMPLEX WITH
LITTLE SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE TRANSPORT TO REPLACE HVY RAINFALL FALLING
OUT OF THE CLOUDS.  COMPLEX ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SPLIT INTO TWO
SEPARATE STORMS WITH LEAD ONE MOVING ACROSS NW MO AND BACK PORTION ONE
MOVING ACROSS EXT SE NEBRASKA AND SW IA.  THERE IS USUALLY A LAG IN
RAINFALL INTENSITIES DECREASING...SO CAN STILL EXPECT HRLY RAIN RATES TO
ONLY SLOWLY DECREASE FROM THEIR 1-2 INCH RATES IN A 30-60 MINUTE TIME
PERIOD OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS AS THE SPLIT COMPLEXES CONTINUE EAST AND
STRETCH OUT.  ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE INDIVIDUAL OVERSHOOTING TOPS ON EARLY
VIS LOOP LOSING THEIR DEFINITION ESPECIALLY WITH EXT SE NEBRASKA INTO
IA CONVECTION AND THAT ANOTHER SIGN OF SLOW DECREASE IN RAIN RATES WITH
COMPLEX REST OF THIS MORNING.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...BUT STILL WILL
BE SOME CONCERN FOR AREA IN MO FROM CARROLL/SALINE TO LINN/
LIVINGSTON TO MACON TO RANDOLPH/HOWARD COUNTY OVER THE NEXT FEW HRS.
