SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...CELLS IN STLT IMAGERY ARE SEEN QUICKLY
DVLPG IN AN AREA OF STRONG SFC MOISTURE CNVG PER RECENT OBJECTIVE
ANALYSIS. SFC BNDRY SEEN JUST AHEAD OF THE FRNT STRETCHING FROM ERN NEB
TO NW IA AND CONTINUING INTO THE SWRN END OF THE STORMS OVER N IA/SE
MN/WRN WI IS THE FOCUS AND IT APPEARS VERY PROBABLE THAT CELLS WILL
FILL IN ALL ALONG THIS LINE WITH APPROACHING S/WV. GOES SOUNDER/GPS
VALUES INDICATE PW'S UP TO 1.95" IN ERN NEB/W IA AND VALUES AROUND OR
SLIGHTLY ABOVE 1.8" LIKELY EXTEND INTO WRN WI. SFC-850MB WINDS PER SFC
OBS/PROFILERS SHOW A GENERALLY SW FLOW IS PRESENT THAT WILL ALLOW FOR
STORM MOVEMENT TO THE NE WITH WRLY UPPER LVL FLOW PROPAGATING THE BUILDING
LINE EWD. TWO GROUPS OF CELLS ARE ALREADY SEEN IN VIS/IR IMAGERY OVER ERN
NEB WHERE REGIONAL FFG IS AT ITS LOWEST WITH CLOUD TOPS TO -61C. ONE IS
SEEN OVER BOONE/MADISON COUNTIES AND ANOTHER OVER VALLEY/SHERMAN/CUSTER
COUNTIES. WHILE IR INDICATES MCS OVER WRN WI/SE MN IS WARMING/WEAKENING
THE CLUSTER OVER N IA/S MN IS COOLING/STRENGTHENING. EXPECT SOME OF THE
HEAVIEST RAIN DURING NEXT FEW HRS WILL BE OVER WRN IA/E CENTRAL NEB
AS CELLS FILL IN OVER AN AREA THAT HAS DWPTS OF 72-77F PRESENT. 3 HR
AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES ENDING 1730Z INDICATED FROM THE PREVIOUS STORMS
A MAX OF 2.0" OVER WASECA COUNTY IN SRN MN WITH ADDTL STORMS NOW MOVING
THROUGH THAT AREA. SEE WEB ADDRESS FOR ESTIMATE GRAPHIC SHORTLY.
