SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...WV LOOP SHOWS UPPER LOW ASSOCIATED WITH
REMNANTS OF DOLLY HAS BEEN UNDERGOING SIGNIFICANT SHEARING AND ELONGATION
ALONG DEFORMATION ZONE OVER KS INTO MO...WITH ZONE TRAILING NEWARD INTO
WELL DEVELOPED UPPER LOW OVER GREAT LAKES.  GOOD OUTFLOW IS EVIDENT WITH
ANTICYCLONIC FLOW SEEN WITHIN CIRRUS PATTERN ON LOOP...SO NEW CONVECTION
IS STILL SUPPORTED WELL.  THIS NEW CONVECTION CAN BE SEEN ON THE NORTHEAST
SIDE OF THE SHEARING UPPER LOW ALONG THE PSUEDO WARMFRONT/DEFORMATION ZONE
EXTENDING FROM WESTERN KC AREA ACROSS CENTRAL MO.  WITH MODERATE LOW LEVEL
JET INFLOW BUT VERY HIGH PWS IN THE RANGE OF 2.25" OVER KS CONVECTION HAS
VERY GOOD ENVIROMENT FOR CONTINUED HIGHLY EFFICIENT CELLS.  IR DOES NOT
SHOW A LARGE AREA OF DEEP COLD CONVECTION BUT ISOLATED CLUSTERS CENTERED
OVER SALINE COUNTY, MO... JACKSON COUNTY, MO.  IT IS THESE CLUSTERS THAT
A CAPABLE OF 1-1.5" TOTALS AS THEY PASS IN ABOUT AN HOUR....BUT IT IS
THE TRAINING OF THESE CLUSTERS OVER ALREADY SATURATED AREAS THAT HAS
AND WILL CONTINUE THE FF THREATS OVER THE MORNING HOURS.  VERY SLOW OR
STATIONARY MOVEMENT OF CELLS OVER E KS NEAR THE UPPER LOW MAY LEAD TO
TOTALS OF 3-4" VERY QUICKLY IN A LINE FROM CHASE COUNTY TO JOHNSON COUNTY.
