SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...EAST-WEST ORIENTED CONVECTIVE LINE
IS ENABLING TRAINING TO TAKE PLACE BASICALLY ACROSS BOONE, STORY,
AND MARSHALL COUNTIES IN CENTRAL IOWA.  IR IMAGERY SHOWS HEAVY RAIN
SIGNATURE WITH LITTLE MOVEMENT ON THE UPWIND PORTION.  WV IMAGERY SHOWS
THIS TO BE IN A PRIME LOCATION ON THE TAIL-END OF THE SHORTWAVE PUSHING
THRU WISCONSIN, AND ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW FROM THE
DEBRIS OF AN OLD MCC THAT MOVED THRU KANSAS EARLIER TODAY.  JUICY TD'S IN
THE MID 70'S AND A 2.0" PLUS PW AXIS, AS SEEN ON SOUNDER DATA, PROVIDE
AMPLE MOISTURE, SO CURRENT ESTIMATED MAX RAIN RATES OF ABOUT .9" PER
HALF-HOUR ARE REASONABLE BUT THE TRAINING OF CELLS FROM WEST TO EAST
MAX ENCOURAGE TOTALS TO BREACH THE 2.1" TO 2.6" 3 HR FFG VALUES SOONER.
