.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WARM TOP CELLS WHICH ORIGINALLY FORMED ON
THE OUTFLOW BNDRY FROM LAST NIGHTS MCS ARE STILL PRESENT OVER NE KS AND
BEGINNING TO CROSS INTO SE NE. CELLS ARE NOW FOCUSED NEAR A FRNTL BNDRY
DRAPED ACROSS THE ERN PARTS OF THE TWO STATES. EL FROM 12Z TOP RAOB WAS
AT -61C AND ONLY ONE GROUP OF CELLS HAS BEEN VIGOROUS ENOUGH TO REACH
THAT TEMPERATURE AT CLOUD TOP LVL..THOSE OVER MARSHALL AND WASHINGTON
COUNTIES. AUTOMATED STLT ESTIMATES HAVE DONE POORLY DUE TO WARM TOP NATURE
OF CELLS BUT MANUEL STLT ESTIMATES GIVE UP TO 1.7" OVER MARSHALL COUNTY
DURING THE 3.5 HRS FROM 1415Z-1745Z. WARMING OVER MARSHALL SINCE 1715Z
INDICATES A WEAKENING OF THE STORMS BUT OTHER CELLS TO THE W AND SW MAY
AGAIN MOVE OVER MARSHALL COUNTY..BRINGING ADDTL MOD-HVY RAINFALL. HOWEVER
ONLY WOULD EXPECT LOCALLY HVY RAIN..NOT WIDESPREAD PREDOMINANTLY WITH
CELLS THAT BECOME ANCHORED OVER THE SAME AREA. PW'S RANGING FROM 1.6-1.85"
IN NE KS/SE NE SHOULD BE PLENTY RICH TO ALLOW FOR HVY RAINS FROM THE WARM
TOP STORMS INTO SE NE AND CONTINUING IN NE KS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
