EVENT...W-E TRAINING CELLS ACROSS OH CONTINUES
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...IR SHOWS W-E ORIENTED CELLS HAVE REMAINED
OVER MOSTLY THE SAME COUNTIES FOR SEVERAL HRS NOW. A FEW SMALLER CELLS
HAVE MERGED RECENTLY CREATING COLDER TOPS THAT ARE AT -67 TO -69C OVER
LICKING/E FRANKLIN COUNTIES THOUGH THESE COLDER TOPS ON STLT APPEAR TO
BE JUST N OF HEAVIEST CELLS SEEN ON RADAR AND THE OFFSET COULD HAVE A
SLIGHT NWD BIAS IN AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES. GPS PW VALUES SHOW THAT
THE DRIER AIR MENTIONED IN EARLIER SPE HAS BEEN SHOVED A BIT EWD BY THE
UPSTREAM MCS AND DEEPEST MOISTURE IS NOW MOSTLY OUT OF ERN IND..SLOWLY
MOVING EWD ACROSS OH INTO PARTS OF WV/SW PA..HENCE THE EWD MOVEMENT OF
UPWIND EDGE OF TRAINING CELLS. CONTINUED SLOW EWD MOVEMENT OF THE DEEPER
MOISTURE..STILL AROUND 1.8" PW'S OVER SRN HALF OF OH SHOULD ALLOW FOR
HVY RAIN MAX TO SHIFT A BIT E BUT SHOULD GENERALLY STAY W-E ORIENTED
DUE TO NEAR WRLY 850MB FLOW FROM IND INTO OH PER VWPS AND WRLY SFC FLOW
OVER CENTRAL OH. VERY SLIGHT ESEWD DRIFT HAS BEEN NOTED THOUGH RECENTLY
AS THE ERN END OF THE LINE PUSHES SEWD ACROSS PA AND IS PULLING THE
TRAINING CELLS EVER SO SLIGHTLY ESEWD TWDS NW WV.
.
3 HR STLT ESTIMATES SHOW A MAX OF 3.3" FROM 0445Z-0745Z OVER SRN LICKING
COUNTY BUT AS MENTIONED ABOVE APPEAR TO BE JUST LITTLE N OF ACTUAL HVY
RAINFALL AXIS..BY ABOUT 10-15 KM. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR ESTIMATE GRAPHIC
