SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WITH 850 MB FLOW VEERING ACROSS OK/SE
KS PER RECENT PROFILER DATA..THE STRONG BOW ECHO MOVING SWD THROUGH SE
KS HAS COMING TO A SCREECHING HALT AND ALONG WITH OTHER CELLS TO THE
NW HAVE FORMED A SOLID LINE FROM JUST SW OF SLN TO NW OF PPW. CIRRUS
BLOWOFF HAS OBSCURED SOME OF THE NEWLY FORMED CELLS BETWEEN THESE TWO
STNS MAKING STLT ESTIMATES THERE UNRELIABLE. HOWEVER COLDER TOPS OVER
BUTLER/GREENWOOD/WOODSON/WILSON COUNTIES HAVE BEEN PRODUCING ESTIMATED
AMOUNTS OF 1-1.4" IN A 1 HR TIME PERIOD DUE TO THE LITTLE MOVEMENT
THAT IS SEEN. OVER CENTREAL GREENWOOD..3 HR AMOUNTS ENDING 0530Z SHOW
UP TO 2.4" HAS FALLEN..MOST OF THAT IN THE PAST 1.5-2 HRS. STRONGEST
THETA-E GRADIENT IS PRESENT ALONG THE EDGE OF THIS NW-SE LINE AND PLOT
OF SFC DATA SHOWS DWPTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S INCREASING TO THE LOW
70S JUST SE OF GREENWOOD COUNTY..SO ESPECIALLY ON THE SERN PART OF THE
LINE DEEP MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE FOR THESE STORMS TO PRODUCE VERY HVY
RAINFALL. LIKELY UNTIL BOWING SEGMENT THAT CAN EVEN BE SEEN IN IR PASSES
THROUGH THE SLN AREA..THERE WILL BE LITTLE IF ANY MOVEMENT OF THE CELLS
ALONG THIS AXIS. SEVERAL MERGERS ARE OR WILL BE OCCURRNIG AS WELL ON THE
NWRN END OF THE LINE AS THAT SEGMENT PROGRESSES EWD. SEE WEB ADDRESS IN
10 MIN FOR GRAPHIC.
