SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THE SMALL COMPLEX THAT HAS BEEN BARRELING
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS PHILLIPS AND ROOKS COUNTIES IN N. CNTRL KANSAS,
APPEARS TO BE READY TO MERGE WITH SOME OF THE MORE EASTWARD MOVING CELLS
THAT HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN A LINE APPROXIMATELY FROM ELLIS TO LINCOLN
COUNTIES.  OSBOURNE, RUSSELL, ELLIS AND LINCOLN COUNTIES MAY BE THE FOCUS
OF THIS MERGER AND SUBSEQUENT HEAVY RAINS.  ALREADY, SATELLITE ESTIMATES
OF .6 TO .8" PER HALF-HOUR RATES ARE OCCURRING THRU 2032Z.  ANY MERGER
COULD ADD UP TO .5" TO THIS RATE AND FFG VALUES COULD BE BREACHED.
SOUNDER PW LOOP SHOWS AN AXIS OF 2.0" PLUS VALUES FROM N. CNTRL KANSAS AND
THEN TO THE EAST THROUGHOUT MOST OF EASTERN KANSAS.  RAIN PRODUCTION WILL
BE EFFICIENT FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS AS THIS COMPLEX SLIDES ESEWRD.
