.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...NEW CELLS OVER SRN IA HAVE BEGUN TO
QUICKLY ENHANCE WITH EXPANDING COLD CLOUD TOPS SEEN IN IR IMAGERY
DURING THE PAST HR. CORE ON ONE CELL IS SEEN NEAR THE MONROE/LUCAS
COUNTY BORDER THAT IS NEARLY STNRY OVER THE W/SWRN PART OF MONROE
COUNTY. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES SHOW 1.0" IN A 1 HR PERIOD OVER SWRN
MONROE FROM 0730-0830Z. EXPERIMENTAL MESOSCALE STLT WINDS SHOW A SMALL
AREA OF UPPER LVL DVG HAS DVLPD OVER SERN IA/NE MO AND WITH WARMING OF
MO/IL MCS..NEW CLUSTER OF CELLS HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF DVG ALOFT LEFT
OVER FROM THE WEAKENING COMPLEX. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS SHOWS A THETA-E
MIN EXTENDS SWD ACROSS ERN IA INTO EXTREME NE MO/WRN IL NEAR KUIN THAT
SHOULD FOR NEXT 1-2 HRS AT LEAST KEEP CELLS ORIENTED IN NW-SE MANNER
WITH LITTLE PROPAGATION EWD INTO SE IA/NW AND W CENTRAL IL..UNTIL
COLD POOL DVLPS MORE. WEAK FLOW FROM SFC TO UPPER LVL WILL ALSO LIMIT
MOVEMENT OF CELLS. PW VALUES OF 1.5-1.6" ARE STILL SHOWN TO EXIST BY
GOES SOUNDER/GPS VALUES OVER S CENTRAL IA AND THERE MAY STILL BE SOME
LEFTOVER SLIGHTLY DEEPER MOISTURE JUST TO THE S. CURRENT RAIN RATES HAVE
BEEN UP TO 1.25-1.5"/HR BUT CAN INCREASE WITH MERGERS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
OCCURRING AND SHOULD CONTINUE AS NEW CELLS FORM TO THE SE. WITH FORMATION
INTO N MO..HVY RAIN THREAT WILL AGAIN BE OVER COUNTIES THAT HAVE SEEN
VERY HVY RAIN DURING THE PAST 2 NIGHTS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. SEE
